特定の条件を満たす連続日数の最大値をチェックする

このソリューションは、users_idとbrinkathers_idに複合インデックスがある限り、非常にうまく機能しているようです-

SELECT *
FROM (
    SELECT t.*, IF(@prev + INTERVAL 1 DAY = t.d, @c := @c + 1, @c := 1) AS streak, @prev := t.d
    FROM (
        SELECT DATE(timestamp) AS d, COUNT(*) AS n
        FROM beverages_log
        WHERE users_id = 1
        AND beverages_id = 1
        GROUP BY DATE(timestamp)
        HAVING COUNT(*) >= 5
    ) AS t
    INNER JOIN (SELECT @prev := NULL, @c := 1) AS vars
) AS t
ORDER BY streak DESC LIMIT 1;
