Hangxiety: why alcohol spikes next-day anxiety
That uneasy, jittery morning after drinking has a name and a mechanism. Here's why alcohol calms you at night and rebounds into anxiety the next day — and what helps.

See your week
One ring. The whole picture.
Every drink becomes a standard drink, so a strong IPA and a glass of wine finally compare. The ring stays calm when you're under, and only turns red when you cross a limit you set.

See the trend
Down is the only direction that matters.
Stats show your standard drinks per week against your goal line — so the question stops being “was last night bad?” and becomes “am I trending down?”

Mindful drinking
Know your drinking triggers (and how to handle them)
Most overshooting traces back to a handful of cues — stress, boredom, habit, certain people or places. Here's how to spot your triggers and build a calm pause before the next drink.
The science
How long does alcohol stay in your system?
Your body clears roughly one standard drink an hour, and nothing speeds it up. Here's how alcohol is metabolized, how long tests can detect it, and what changes the rate.
Questions, answered
Is my drinking data private?
Yes. PitchCount is offline-first — your logs live on your device by default, and you don’t need an account to start. Nothing is sold or shared.
What counts as a “standard drink”?
A standard drink is a fixed amount of pure alcohol — about 14g in the US. PitchCount converts beer, wine, and spirits to this unit so everything compares fairly.
Will it tell me to stop drinking?
No. PitchCount is non-judgmental. You set your own goal — fixed, step-down, or none — and it simply shows you where you are. It never shames or pushes sobriety on you.
Is this a medical or treatment tool?
No. It’s a tracking and educational tool to help you drink more mindfully. If you’re worried about dependence, please talk to a healthcare professional.
