Numbers for the portion shown, the same as on each food's page. Sports are for someone of about 70 kg.

The cocktails are at the top: a pina colada is 490, a bottle of soju 330, a caipirinha 230 and an espresso martini 220. Half a litre of beer is 215, a cider 210, and a mojito, a margarita, a Guinness and a mug of mulled wine are 200 each.

One drink a day for 31 days adds up. A glass of wine a night is about 3,875 kcal in January, half a litre of beer 6,665 and a gin and tonic 4,898. Skip it, or swap it, and that is what stays off the month.

No need to go all or nothing. One drink fewer a week still counts, and a glass of champagne on a birthday is fine. In Caltype you type what you drink and it is in your day.
