Beer 2001 v1.0 written by Bongoman

This is an advanced advisory system. Beer 2001 can recommend the cheapest drink with the
maximum amount of alcohol from a given list of alcoholic beverages. It can provide the
comparison of amount of alcohol in each set of drinks, including amount of standard drinks
and the price of the lot. This program uses Australian measure of a standard drink (10g of
absolute alcohol). One USA standard drink is 13.6g of absolute alcohol.

In other words, Beer 2001 calculates the cheapest way to get drunk :)

Binaries for AmigaOS, Linux i386 and Windows are included. Source code in C++.
