Reinhard, the thing about your tracking and spreadsheet idea is that it's "accounting," right? Only instead of counting calories it's drinks? I can see using a calendar for tracking days on habit, but I just wonder whether the need to count drinks on paper isn't a little retro... :) In my case, one ...
