Not only does the alcohol have effects, but the calories do, too. Counting drinks helps you track your overall health and wellness by knowing what kinds of calories you’re ingesting, especially carbohydrates, which can be stored as fat and lead to weight gain. Another important reason to track your drinks is because each drink costs money! As the calories and the dollars add up, by the end of each month, you may be gaining more weight and losing more cash than you had realized. Take advantage of Reframe’s drink and day counters as part of your personal wellness plan.
The National Institutes of Health recommend limiting drinks to 2 per day for men or 1 per day for women. More than 14 per week for men or 7 per week for women is problematic and can lead to serious health issues in the long run. Also, having 5 or more drinks in a single occasion (men) or 4 or more drinks (women) counts as binge drinking, according to the Centers for Disease Control. If this sounds like your drinking patterns, it’s time to start counting your drinks. Downloading the Reframe app is a great way to get started!
We think so! Sure, it might feel like a hassle at first to pull out your phone and log the drinks when you have them. However, this keeps you accountable and helps you pay attention to how many you’re having. The goal isn’t to make you feel bad about drinking, but rather to make you more mindful as a starting point for reevaluating your relationship with alcohol. Over the first few days and weeks, you’ll start to see a pattern, which Reframe will help you interpret and translate into a concrete action plan for moving forward. Start today — download Reframe!
