Description

The purpose of this App is to accurately record the units you are consuming. You do this by, at least, knowing the percentage alcohol and the amount of the drink - specified in ml, cl, litres, uk pints or US fl ozs. Unlike other Apps it does not care what the drink is (e.g. a glass of wine or a pint of beer) just the units. It does not judge you about the amount you are drinking it is trying to help you recognise how much you are drinking and manage that however you want. Recent changes have introduced the ability to mark a day as Alcohol Free, change the number of days used to calculate the rolling averages shown and, with this update, the ability to change the percentage alcohol and drink amount using the watch App rather than having to use the phone to make these changes. Ever wondered how many units there are in a drink? This App can can be used to just calculate the number of units in a drink but it can also be used to keep track of units consumed. Just press the Add Units button. Until you ask yourself the question how many units am I consuming day by day, week by week and through the months you will have no idea. Many people wildly underestimate the amount they drink. This App can tell you and it can be very enlightening. Unlike other Apps this one makes no judgement on how much you drink it is a means for you to understand the amounts and to act as you see fit. If you choose to cut down then that is your choice. Maybe this App will confirm that apart from the odd day or two you are generally within guidelines. This App is not restricted in the amounts that can be entered unlike other similar Apps. The values are entered using a decimal number pad so you are not restricted by the values specified on picker wheels. You can enter ANY amounts using US fl Ozs, millilitres, centilitres, litres, UK pints. Drink Driving Limits: A 3.6% abv pint of beer has 2 units in it. In the UK to remain within the drink drive limit you can have no more than 1 pint of weak (3.6%) beer - any more and you risk being over the drink drive limit. Note, that the last sentence used the word weak, not one pint of beer but one pint of weak beer. So what difference does that make? Well a 5% beer has 2.84 units in it. So, youre probably pushing the upper limit, if not already over it. Legal Disclaimer: Do not use this App as a guide to whether you can drive a car or not. This App is just for calculating and collating the number of units consumed. Now with Apple Watch support & iCloud Support to save your precious information. Easy to add the same units from your Apple Watch. See how many units youve consumed today glancing at your Apple Watch. Save you units consumed to iCloud. Retrieve them on another device.

Works as designed, good to use

Great App - simple & effective!

Alcohol Units Calculator is a great little application. It has a very clean, user friendly user interface and does exactly what it is supposed to without lots of complicated steps. The ability to enter drinks in a variety of volume types is especially helpful. Some applications require you to enter everything in fluid ounces or milliliters, etc. ACU allows you to enter millilitres, centilitres, litres, pints or fuild ounces... in other words whatever measure the beverage you are trying to calculate is served in, you just enter that and the application handles the conversions. Other applications I have tried require you to breakout a calculator to figure out how many ounces were in that pint you were just served or that 750ml bottle of wine. The only suggestion I might have for future enhancements would be to allow a summary of units consumed by week and/or by month. However, the existing table provides a great way to track and view at a glance the conusmption for each day and to view a graph of monthly consumption. Highly recommended and well worth the purchase price. Thank you!

Note "units" are for UK only.

kutastha · 14 years ago · v1.4.1

In the US, one unit of alcohol is equivalent to 14 grams of alcohol. Thus, a UK pint of 3.6% ABV beer is 19.2 oz x 0.036 x (1gram/0.035oz) = 19.8 grams or 1.4 US units. Perhaps the programmer could factor in the conversion of units from UK units to appeal to those in the USA. Thus one star for me until then, or I move to the UK.

Simple and useful

Simple layout, not particularly aesthetic but functional. Easy to use and effective. My one complaint is that if you input daily drinks as you go along, it aggregates them together into a total without showing what the drinks were. if you think you made a mistake, your only option is to wipe the whole day and start again. You might have realised you input the last drink wrong, but forgot what you had before it, so thats not ideal. It would be better if it kept a log of what you input, with the ability to wipe one single input rather than just the whole day.

Thanks, and add 0 drinks?

ChicagoJB2 · 12 years ago · v1.7

Thanks for the app, its just what I was looking for. When I try to add zero drinks it displays an error message. Is there a way to add zero drinks for a day?

a good app

Not fancy; but it is a solid little app. Well worth its 1 US$. This app helps me make sure to have what studies show is a therapeutic & healthful amount of alcohol - no more and no less (1-3 AUs/day). Every day, what I drank, I feel a small sense of accomplishment in maintaining good health. This app totally de-mystifies figuring out how much alcohol you are drinking. Not all wines have the same amt of alcohol. Ditto beers and sprits.
