This is just direct spend
The calculator only estimates what goes toward drinks themselves. It does not try to price hangovers, food, rideshares, lost time, or health fallout.
The number is useful even if your goal is only to cut back
You do not need to be planning full sobriety for the math to matter. A 25% or 50% reduction can still be meaningful.
Money is only one signal
Cost is concrete, which is why it is useful. But it should be considered alongside health, mood, sleep, safety, and whether the pattern feels under control.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does this calculator work?+
It multiplies your average drinks per week by your average cost per drink, then rolls that into rough monthly and yearly estimates.
It is a simple decision-support tool, not a perfect forensic budget.
Does this include bars tabs, food, rideshares, or health costs?+
No. This calculator is intentionally conservative and only estimates direct drink spend.
What if I mostly drink at home?+
That is fine. Just use your best estimate for what one drink tends to cost you on average.
What if my goal is only to cut back, not stop completely?+
That still makes the tool useful. Seeing the difference between 25%, 50%, and 100% reduction can help clarify what feels meaningful to you.
If the number surprises me, what should I do next?+
You can keep it simple: talk to a doctor, look at treatment options, find a therapist, or start with a private self-guided support tool if the situation is not a crisis and does not require medical detox or higher-acuity care.
Is this a medical or treatment recommendation?+
No. It is just a calculator and reflection tool.
If there is a crisis, withdrawal risk, or serious health concern, use medical or crisis help rather than relying on this page.
