Not sure if it's improved, but I found it a very slow process to add past beers (rather than only add them as I went) and abandoned it.
It did however beat my previous method which involved adding beer names to a list in the Notes app on my phone and then having limited idea of when and where I'd tasted it, or no search option to check whether something was already on the list.
A lush is someone who overindulges in alcohol enthusiastically, but doesn't rise to the level of being an alcoholic. It is commonly used to tease someone about their drinking without calling them a drunk.
I would say "may not rise to the level of being an alcoholic." I would not think it weird for the term "lush" to be applied to a (friendly/happy - as you say, "enthusiastic") alcoholic.
Maybe it's a generational or geographical thing within our country? Because I'm also Australian and I've never heard "lush" used in conversation around me, with this meaning.
Although this thread has just explained a line from a song by a US artist that I've heard where "lush" is used in this context and it now makes more sense to me.
It's pretty clear from the smiley in the title that he was just teasing her. I just found it odd that he would write it in the title of a blog post meant to be read by thousands of strangers. It's like shouting some bit of raillery at your friend across a crowded public plaza.
It's also strange that he didn't use scraping since he knew it in the first place (Although I acknowledge that for some people time saved > money) and had to use it later anyway.

"lush. one who becomes intoxicated after a few drinks and flirts with everyone." [Urban Dictionary]
It's not a term I've encountered before in Australia.

(I guess it wouldn't come up in a lot of conversations, but it isn't obscure)
