Trial balloon — new features for the bottom of /drink-calculator/
Preview only. The live calculator at /drink-calculator/ is untouched. Adjust the inputs below to see how the 4 new tiles would feel for different users. Then tell me what to keep / cut / tweak.

REM sleep you're losing
Math: ~12 minutes of REM lost per standard drink consumed in the evening. Conservative figure based on sleep research summarized in Walker, Why We Sleep (2017) and the American Academy of Sleep Medicine's position statements on alcohol and REM suppression.
30 days from now if you stopped today
If you drink at this rate until 70
Straight multiplication. Doesn't account for inflation, doesn't account for the fact that drinking past a certain point tends to compound costs (medical, legal, lost income). The real number is almost certainly higher.
Send me my numbers in 30 days
A no-strings reminder showing what you told us today, and asking what changed. Nothing else.
LIVE — wired to the aysos-leaderboard worker. Stores email + numbers in KV; the scheduled() cron flushes due 30-day emails via Resend daily at 13:00 UTC.
All four tiles compute live from your inputs above. Math sources noted under each tile. When you greenlight, I splice them into the bottom of /drink-calculator/ using its existing weeklyStdDrinks + yearlyNice variables (so they'll auto-fill from the user's real calc, no extra inputs needed in production).
