Quit Drinking Savings Calculator (money, alcohol & time saved since you stopped)

How it works

Alcohol-free days = today − quit date. Drinks not drunk = drinks per week × days ÷ 7; money saved = drinks × price. Pure alcohol = drinks × volume × ABV × 0.789 g/mL, and each gram is about 7 kcal. Hours freed uses the time per week you used to spend drinking. All figures assume you would otherwise have kept your old habit.

FAQ

Is it safe to stop drinking all at once?

For most people, yes. But if you have been drinking heavily every day, stopping suddenly can cause withdrawal symptoms, and severe withdrawal (delirium tremens) can be life-threatening — talk to a doctor before you stop.

What can I do with the money saved?

Moving the weekly amount you used to spend into a separate savings account makes the progress visible and turns it into a goal, such as a trip at the one-year mark.
