Full bar – Beer, wine and liquor: 100 (guests) x 5 (hours) = 500 drinks. 500 x 0.33 = 170 beers or 7 cases of beer or one ½ barrel sized keg. 500 x 0.33 = 150 glasses of wine, /5 glasses per bottle= 37 bottles of wine. 500 x 0.33 = 150 mixed drinks, /39 servings per 1.75 bottle = four 1.75ml bottles liquor.
Open Bar for 100 GUESTS: 70 bottles of wine. 175 bottles of beer. 15 bottles of liquor (750 ml) 20 bottles of champagne for toast (optional)
A 2 liter bottle of soda is about 6-8 drinks so between 0.5-0.75 bottles per person? Maybe less for kids? So low end, at 0.5 we're looking at 38-50 bottles for 75-100 guests. High end probably 56 - 75 bottles. So if you get 38-56 (2L bottles) for 75 guests and 50-75 (2L bottles) for 100 guests, this should cover it.
Using this rule, if you have 100 guests at your wedding, and you're planning a five-hour celebration, you're looking at 600 drinks total for the night. Keep in mind that this doesn't include champagne for toasts, which is usually added in addition to your other alcoholic beverage options.
(So for a six-hour wedding with 100 guests, you'll need roughly 600 drinks.) Alex Tornai, party planner for Binny's Beverage Depot, errs on the side of more drinks per person (and we're here for it): “Two drinks in the first hour and one drink per hour for the duration of the evening,” he says.
A good rule of thumb for estimating is 2-3 drinks per person for the cocktail hour, then 1 drink per person per hour for the rest of the reception. So for example - for a cocktail hour then 4 hour reception for 65 guests you'll need to be prepared to serve at least 350-400 drinks!
So as guide, if you have 100 guests, you will need around 50 bottles of wine (mix of red and white.) Plus around 300 pints/bottles of lager, beer and cider.
The typical school of thought is to plan one drink per hour per guest. Say you want to calculate how much alcohol for a wedding of 150 for a two-hour reception. That would equal 300 drinks throughout your event. Of course, this number is just an average.
Over the course of your reception (including cocktail hour), your guests will most likely have about 4 beverages (about 1 per hour). If we do the math here, that is 100 guests x 4 drinks = 400 drinks.
