Alcohol Consumption in Apple Health With Shortcuts

With Shortcuts, it is easy to create a shortcut that adds a water intake data point to the Health app. However, it seems not possible to do the same for alcohol consumption data. It is not found in the list of types of input data. Why is that?

The Shortcuts app even states: "You can log anything the Health app supports."

It is a bit strange that I need to open the Health app when I want to log a data point for one category when at the same time it is possible to just do the same with a shortcut for another category.

Is this a bug?

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 16

Hi urctusarsos,

For help with creating custom shortcuts, test the steps found in the article here: Create a custom shortcut on iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

If you're using the same steps, it might be possible to add the information with a third-party app to track the details.

"Find apps that are compatible with Health

Open the Health app and tap the Browse tab.
Tap a category, like Heart.
Tap a subcategory, like Heart Rate.
Scroll down to the apps recommended for that category, then tap an app to learn about and download it.
Go back to your privacy settings in the Health app to allow that app to read or write data in the Health app. "

Find this information and more here: Manage Health data on your iPhone, iPod touch, or Apple Watch - Apple Support
