Its really that simple (although a complex equation since not every drink is the same price)
Good advice. I would also add that, when doing the comparison, the baseline should be what you would NORMALLY drink on sea days and port days in the absence of a drink package. (Often passengers with a drink package may drink more than they normally would in order to maximize the value of the package, in which case the elevated consumption level should obviously not be used as a baseline for comparison.)
