Is this about alcohol?
People in England don't have much idea about what current guidelines say, nor how much alcohol is in what they're drinking, nor how many servings they've had.
Is one glass of wine one drink or three? Is a pint of beer one drink or three?
I'm mildly concerned that people will enter servings, (one pint today, two glasses tomorrow) and end up with a low number, say 10 drinks per week, and think they're doing ok when they're actually drinking over recommended limits.

Obviously, the amount of actual alcohol can vary pretty greatly (even in beer, eg. a pilsner vs an IPA). This is definitely focused on "servings", which seems like an easy shorthand to track what you're drinking at a level that's comfortable for you. Of course, if you don't remember how much you drank last night, then, that might be an issue.
