Alcohol Savings Calculator

See how much money (and calories) you could save by drinking less or stopping.

Alcohol is one of the most significant discretionary expenses many people don't track. Even cutting down moderately can add up to hundreds or thousands of dollars a year.

Each US standard drink also carries approximately 98 kcal from alcohol alone (7 kcal/g × 14 g ethanol) — mixers, juice, or soda add more. Any reduction is a step in the right direction. Less is better.

Per week

$98

Per month

Per year

Approximately 1372 kcal per week from alcohol alone.

Alcohol-only estimate (7 kcal/g × 14 g per standard drink). Mixers, juice, or soda add more.

Cutting down saves proportionally — even one fewer drink per week adds up.
