I have not tasted this port - received this deal in my email. I use port for cooking all the time, and very occasionally drink it. I have ordered one case just for cooking - and I think for this purpose this is a great price. Had a quick google for other retailers selling this - but couldn't find much other than international sellers who have sold out. FYI, from those sites the price was about $10 a bottle.
As for the port, GetWinesDirect have hyped it up:
"What a sensational value! Its light to medium ruby hue is accompanied by an extraordinary bouquet of sweet candied fruit intermixed with notions of maple syrup, earth, and hazelnuts. This gorgeous tawny delivers plenty of pleasure."
93 Points - Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate.
"Round and moderately sweet, with chocolaty notes to the cherry and dried fig flavors that linger on the refined finish. Drink now."
90 Points - Wine Spectator.

Not bad "piss value", I guess
16.9% alcohol x 12 bottles x 750ml = 1.521 litres of alcohol for $55.38
To get the same from 5% beer, you'd need 30.42 litres. That is 81 cans, or 3.28 slabs/cases.
As to which would give the worst headache? That would be subject to further laboratory testing. LOL
