Spacer

Who this is for

Someone in their forties or fifties who likes a drink, likes their mates more, and has slid into most-nights drinking without ever deciding to. They don't want to quit. They don't want to be told off. They want fewer drinking nights, kept easily, with the people they already drink with on side.

Behind them: the mate who has quit and wants to stay in the group without being odd; the person for whom the pub is most of their social contact, who must not lose that; and the one who organises things.

How it works

• You pick a shape: which nights are spacers. Mon–Thu is the suggested start.
• Each morning, one tap for last night: clear, a couple, or a big one.
• Your crew sees your week and sends cheers when you keep it.
• Crews put up plans that aren't drinks. The balance with each mate should sit at least even.
• Reads explain why less often beats less per sitting, and why the pub still matters.

What it won't do

• Count standard drinks. The unit is the night.
• Turn anything red, break a streak, or send a guilt notification.
• Ask you to quit. Every night is a valid shape, and so is two.
• Take the pub away. It adds the other catch-ups.
