Bounce for Ounce

Whenever I am at a restaurant I always find myself staring at a beer menu longer than I should trying to calculate if whether that fancy high ABV IPA would be more worth it to spend my money on than the classic lager. I think I still have the mindset of a cheap college student. But I decide to solve this problem by spending countless hours and the full brunt of my engineering degree to come up with this equation:

$alc=\frac{oz \ast ABV}{price}$

Where alc is the amount of ethanol per dollar. I then use this value to rank each beer in a restaurant or distributor. Because I wanted to mess around with charts I also added buttons to compare the alc score of different places to each other.

This is one of the first projects that I did when I started trying to teach myself python. I stumbled upon this recently and realized that I must have spent way too much time on these scripts to just leave them sitting there collecting dust on my computer. So I decided it might be interesting to incorporate them into this Django project.
