chris this is not a jab against you at all, becoz i appreciate having the algorithim. however, just wanted to say that i would urge caution against pointing out this algorithim (in a class, say for example) as i think this kind of thing makes bf look hard and restrictive. however, it would be good to have in a file for the occasional mom who really presses you for the 'exact science' of calculating how much she can drink/when can she resume bf. while i support moms having correct information, and i DO NOT encourage or support indiscriminate alcohol use, i do believe that the occasional drink (or even the daily wine w/ dinner in some cultures) is quite compatible w/ bf. the same kinds of 'rules' and 'prohibitions' about diet are very destructive too, i think.
