Also, compare to Cocktails+. It's more stripped down in many ways, but the overall effect is more pleasing to my eye.

Also, the random feature on Alcohology is really interesting and would be incredibly useful. But why is it limited to an urbanspoon-style restaurant finder? Drink components don't seem to map well to that layout.

Perhaps allow for the input of an arbitrary number of components into a "bar", which then generates a list of potential drinks.

Or at least simplify the roulette selection to: primary component, style (cocktail, mixer, shooter, etc) and difficulty.

e.g. I have Whiskey, I want a cocktail and I don't want to spend a lot of time straining and cutting fruit.



"Perhaps allow for the input of an arbitrary number of components into a "bar", which then generates a list of potential drinks."

That is exactly what it does. The second line of the description states "Alcohology is specially designed so you can see what cocktails your home bar can actually create" and the 3rd and 4th bullet points are "Customizable ingredients for your bar. Toggle to see all recipes or only recipes your bar can make"

Your comment has made it obvious that I have utterly failed in getting that point across. I'll re-work the description and screenshots to change the sales pitch.
