Alcohol spending and opportunity-cost calculator

Alcohol spending and opportunity-cost calculator. Sums home and going-out drinking costs plus associated rideshare costs into monthly and yearly totals, then projects what that redirected spending could grow into if invested instead, using the future-value-of-an-annuity formula.

Paid test badge: not yet. The checks above are free: we call the tool without paying and read the payment request it sends back. The Verified badge needs paid calls whose answers match the promised output, and nobody can buy a badge.
