I've been trying to walk a lot more too, as I've found it's better for my mental as well as physical health.
Have gravitated toward "trail" shoes, for a nice mix of padding and being able to feel the ground.
Current pair are these: https://www.newbalance.com/pd/dynasoft-nitrel-v6-gore-tex-/MTNTRGV6-47467.html
I also hate buying shoes (which is its own whole thing), but have found the people in the sports stores also seem to be monumentally less interested in bugging you compared to a shoe store, so can be left in peace to try some things.
Best of luck on the hunt!
(also if I did my maths right, 5 days * 4.5 miles between Jan 2 and today is damn near 1000km / 600mi, so congrats on that!)
Even what is called "1 standard drink" isn't standardised across countries though.
For you, and also us in NZ it's 10g of ethanol (approximately 12ml), in the UK it's 8g. The US does in fact have a standard measure too, but 14g (and I don't know enough to know how widely it's actually used).
So as well as the standard drinks per bottle, the rule-of-thumb has to differ between countries too.
