Key Points

This research aims to examine alcohol use patterns among users of a wearable platform over time.
Observational cohort study involving 30,000 new wearable device users.
Data collected over 72 weeks with self-reported alcohol consumption.
Analysis of declines in drinking across demographics including age and sex.
Self-reported alcohol consumption significantly declined over 72 weeks.
Daily probability of drinking decreased by 5.8 percentage points (P < .001).
Reductions in alcohol consumption observed across all age groups and biological sexes.

Implication

Observational study shows alcohol consumption declines significantly for new wearable device users, indicating potential health benefits.

Abstract

Among 30,000 new wearable device users (11.6 million person-days), self-reported alcohol consumption significantly declined over 72 weeks, with the daily probability of drinking decreasing by 5.8 percentage points ( P <.001) and reductions across age and biological sex.
