Formula for Standard Drinks A government standard formula is used to determine how many standard drinks are in alcoholic beverages. The formula is outlined below: Volume of beverage in Litres, multiplied by the percentage of alcohol volume, multiplied by 0.789, equals the number of standard drinks.
It turns out, there is a magic formula when it comes to calculating the amount of drinks you'll need for your wedding, sort of: Plan for at least one drink per person per hour. (So for a six-hour wedding with 100 guests, you'll need roughly 600 drinks.)
(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.
After you know how many guests you are expecting, simply calculate two drinks for each guest in the first hour and then one drink for each guest for each successive hour after that.
Event rental companies rent out taller tables for use as a bar, or actual portable bars designed for just this purpose, but a regular table works fine too. For the tables, it's nice to get a long tablecloth to hide any cases or coolers.
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.
