The PLCB helps you not run out of liquor with the power of MATH

Cheers to the PLCB for providing this handy-dandy Quantity Calculator that allows you determine the adequate amount of wine and/or spirits to purchase for a get-together. (Smart idea to launch this prior to Super Bowl XLV.) For example, if you were to have a 10-person, four-hour dinner party, with five wine-loving guests and five liquor hounds, you'd be well-served buying four bottles of wine and two bottles of liquor. The site stresses that the numbers "are estimates only, and are not meant to suggest that you need to consume this much at your party." Good to know, as we're currently working on a "Friends of Meal Ticket" mod for the system that multiples all results by six.
