Sometimes I find myself making those third person comments as well. I really like the design. I shared it on facebook. You're at Michigan? I go to ND. Check out my site. One more thing. If I were you, I would not worry about the conversion to whatever it is they use to measure beer overseas. They can't drink as much as us anyway. They will mess up your estimates. Focus on US college students and keep it funny, not a utility. This could get good! Steve Richert,

I am sitting in my dorm showing my friends, and they digg it too. I am assuming these numbers are based on a good guess or maybe a mean. Users should be able to comment on the Kegulator's accuracy. For example, needed two more cases and 20 more cups. More data could reduce the standard deviation and get an even better estimate of needed supplies. This could get good! Great Idea.

You usually stay for lets say an average 7 hours at a party. Each hour you drink an average 4 beers (more at the beginning later perhaps less (beer)) -> 28 beers (14L). Add another 4-5 beers that you left standing around somewhere and 1-2 that you spilled over that lady/ies sitting on the sofa. Most likely you'll also have to throw away a beer because someone used it as an ashtray. @Eyeomgea - having 10+ 0.5L beers at a party (over time) should not be much of a problem for the typical European woman.
