I am extremely strapped for cash until the end of the month.... yet i want to drink still... so I have decided to drink just 2$ bottles of wine...
Here's my analysis:
1) a 2 dollar bottle of wine with a 12.5% alcohol gets you 750mL*0.125/2= 47mL ethanol/dollar
2) a 10 dollar fifth of vodka or similar 40% alcohol gets you 750mL*0.4/10= 30mL ethanol/dollar
3) a six dollar six pack (6*355mL) of 6% beer gets you (6*355)0.06/6= 21mL ethanol/dollar
4) Therefore, since you want the most ethanol per dollar, and 2 buck is they best economic option. Note that if you increase the cost of any of those (the wine, the hard alcohol, or the beer), the amount of ethanol per dollar goes down proportionally, which is bad.
(trader joes has "simpler times" beer, a six pack of beer for 3 bucks thats like 6%... even that only gets you 41mL/dollar, which isn't better than a 2 dollar bottle of wine)
YAY mathematics!
(also, wine has antioxidants
