Check Your Drink Schedule Against a Daily Volume Target — Free
Hydration advice is a number; a busy day is a sequence of poured glasses. Multiply the glasses you have actually scheduled by their size and see which days fall under the target you were set.
The proof surface
Sweat-rate tools convert measured activity losses into a rehydration figure. This audits the drink plan itself — the glasses already on your schedule against the daily volume target — before any exercise maths is layered on.
Why the flat version breaks
Counting drinks that are not on any schedule
Intention is not a scheduled glass; only count pours tied to a real moment.
Applying one target through heart or kidney conditions
Fluid targets in those conditions are clinician-set and sometimes strict.
Chasing a target after the fact
This is a planning ledger; pouring at midnight does not repair a plan that failed at noon.
How to work the drink volume strip
Rows are days; the glasses counted are the ones tied to moments you already have — the bottle at your desk, the glass with each meal, the flask in the bag.
Two hundred and fifty millilitres is a small glass; a large bottle runs five hundred. Counting eight vessels and pouring four hundred each is a different ledger.
If a clinician set a daily fluid volume, use theirs. Otherwise use the figure your health authority publishes and note that it counts all fluids, not only water.
The strip reports scheduled millilitres per day and holds the lowest day. Six small glasses schedule fifteen hundred millilitres against a two-thousand target — adding one bottle to Monday beats adding two glasses to a Thursday already near target.
What the drink volume strip replaces
| Question | Before | Visible working |
|---|---|---|
| Counting drinks that are not on any schedule | Intention is not a scheduled glass; only count pours tied to a real moment. | Use the real glass size |
| Applying one target through heart or kidney conditions | Fluid targets in those conditions are clinician-set and sometimes strict. | Enter the target you were given |
| Chasing a target after the fact | This is a planning ledger; pouring at midnight does not repair a plan that failed at noon. | Fill the shortest day first |
A local arithmetic aid replaces hand calculation, not expert review. No paid AI service is needed.

FIRST-LOAD
Input is processed locally and a draft is saved automatically in this browser profile when storage is available. Reset to sample clears that draft; Pro history has its own clear button. A state link encodes your inputs in its URL: share only non-sensitive rows. Browser history, clipboard and anyone receiving the link may retain it. Optional AI use below leaves this device; it is not required.
Volume arithmetic on the schedule and target you supply. Not medical nutrition advice or a treatment plan; fluid limits for heart, kidney or other conditions are set by your clinician, and sudden swelling, dizziness or confusion needs care, not a ledger.
Data note: Everything runs in this browser tab on the drink volume strip: your day | glasses scheduled | millilitres per glass stays on this device, nothing is uploaded, and the reading is rebuilt only when you press run.
Go deeper: the companion app files the same reading as a paper ticker strip
The article demo above runs without limits. The companion app keeps a local history, exports the rows as CSV, prints the drink volume strip reading, and holds your drafts on this device — one free run, then $ 4 one-time for the layer that keeps filing.
The drink volume strip reading is complete for free. The optional $4 layer adds print, row CSV and the last five local reading summaries; it does not add hidden answers. Checkout is not configured yet; the article demo remains unlimited.

What this is built on
- Method: If a clinician set a daily fluid volume, use theirs. Otherwise use the figure your health authority publishes and note that it counts all fluids, not only water.
- All sample records are invented examples. The app does not fetch measurements, policies, files or personal records.
- Google’s official pricing page, fetched 2026-09-29, lists free-tier access including AI Studio. Optional formatting only; limits and availability can change. Free-tier content may be used to improve products. Never paste private records there.
Before: Intention is not a scheduled glass; only count pours tied to a real moment. After: the drink volume strip shows the working beside each named row so the reader can change the assumption and inspect the consequence.
Optional AI formatting, not calculation
For this drink volume strip, use the free AI Studio interface only if available to you, with no paid API key. Manual entry completes the same workflow for free. Supply only fictional or non-sensitive notes. Review its output against the source; never paste unresolved questions into the numeric rows.
Format my non-sensitive notes for a drink volume strip. Return plain rows only: day | glasses scheduled | millilitres per glass. Preserve supplied quantities exactly. Do not guess missing values; list questions separately. Do not calculate or add advice. I will check every row before pasting into the local tool.
Accepted schema: day | glasses scheduled | millilitres per glass. No AI response is executed as code.
