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.
For example, a typical selection for a party of 100 people would be 400 standard drinks, distributed in this way: 200 – 12oz. bottles or cans of beer (400 x 50% = 200 drinks. 200 divided by 1 = 200 bottles.)
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.
A good rule of thumb is one bottle of wine per two guests, three beers per guest, three cocktails per guest, one bottle of Champagne or sparkling per six guests, one litre of water per four guests, and three non-alcoholic drinks per guest.
When planning an event, the average consumption per person is one drink every 45 minutes. If the event will last 2 hours, plan on 3 drinks per person. Start with your best guess of the drinking habits of your guests. Divide the number of guests between the types of beverages you plan to serve.
For a 4 hour party with 50 guests, you will need approximately 200 drinks: 80 beers, 72 glasses of wine (15 bottles) and enough for 48 individual cocktails (amounts will depend upon what type of cocktail you serve). If you aren't serving wine, plan on 120 cocktails.
(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.
Here's the common formula behind the drink calculator: # of guests x hours of party time. # of total drinks x 40% or 400 x 40% = 160 beers. (Total # of Drinks – Beers) or (400 – 160) = 240 glasses of wine.
A good rule of thumb is to buy 10 bottles of vodka, 6 bottles of whiskey, 6 bottles of gin, 4 bottles of scotch, 2 bottles tequila, 2 bottles of triple sec, 2 bottles of vermouth, 4 cases of beer, and 2 cases of wine for every 100 guests.
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!
