Ensure non-alcoholic “beer” isn’t tracked as alcohol

I have been working very hard to not drink alcohol, so I was surprised to see that I had 2 alcoholic beverages in my weekly summary.
Very disappointed about that.

Perhaps a check box could be enabled by users when logging an alcoholic beverage to get around needing to figure out how the system would know that a “corona” has 0% alcohol? It would be worth it to me to make that effort so I don’t see an incorrect summary.

    The weekly summary is a very new (beta) feature, there are a lot of other things not optimal either 🙂
    The feature has potential, but yeah, some work to be done...

    @mphinton I really appreciate the feedback on this! The team is always looking at enhancing the experience.

    As we look into this, would you mind providing any screenshots of the exact non-alcoholic items logged? Thanks for the help on this!

    It would also be good to take quantities into account: I supposedly had three alcoholic drinks, but actually I just had spaghetti three times (red wine in the sauce) only adding up to 78ml in total (which is around half a glass).
