This is completely anecdotal, but Whoop data could be used to uncover what moderate drinking does to you as people are self reporting their habits daily.

It is common knowledge in the Whoop community that any amount of alcohol will impact your recovery score(a in house metric combined of HRV, amount sleep gotten, amount sleep needed, recent activity strain, & more) for near 72 hours.



Came here to say this. Seeing the horrible toll that even a small amount of drinking does is a powerful motivator. Even with just Fitbit, RHR was a clear signal. WHOOP makes it clearer.

Biofeedback is underrated. I have foregone many drinks out of concern for my heart health, which otherwise would be invisible.

Whoop's recovery score, in my experience, is highly correlated with mental performance, not just physical. The only market to athletes, which is horrible because I wish there was a model that would make sense to give to my parents. You have to really want that data to pay $30/month.


I'm not familiar with Whoop, but the "body battery" function of Garmin watches/trackers sounds quite similar. No monthly fee.


For others who were confused like me: Whoop is apparently a health/fitness tracker.
