Drinking can be beneficial or harmful, depending on your age and health status, and, of course, how much you drink.  For anyone who drinks, this site offers valuable, research-based information. What do you think about taking a look at your drinking habits and how they may affect your health? Rethinking Drinking can help you get started.

There is no automatic reset of the # of Drinks so you will have to do that each time you want to check calories.  I am working on a reset command button but am having trouble.  Anyone help would be appreciated.  Also you can scroll the spreadsheet within this page if you find that helpful. 

 

You can download the Excel Spreadsheet version of this Here.

It contains a reset button and you can also modify it to keep some kind of running record of your daily or weekly totals.
