Being the Russian that I am I always honestly worried about being an alchy. Back in 2005. I decided to keep track of ever drink I ever had. This has helped me, with so many years if data I'm a me to correlate weight and work out schedule and see the results. Plus, it gives me a rough idea how much money I have spent on alcohol. The for me with the log wasn't to be super accurate but directional correct so I have hard numbers that tell me if I'm getting beter or worse. If interested, ill tell you more details about my system. Good luck and welcome back.
