(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.

Plan on one drink per guest for each hour of your function. Let's assume you are throwing a 4 hour evening party for 100 guests. In other words, 100 guests x 4 hours = 400 drinks.
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.
There's nothing worse than a wedding where the bar runs dry. A general rule of thumb is. you want to account for one drink per guest per reception hour, but for cocktail hour, you want to account for two drinks per guest per hour. Tend to drink more during cocktail hour. and then slow down during dinner and dancing.
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.
However, a general guideline is: Standard Serving: Plan for about half a bottle of wine per person for a 2-3 hour event. For longer events, you might consider closer to 1 bottle per person. Using the half-bottle guideline: 150 guests x 0.5 bottles = 75 bottles of wine.
150 Wedding Guests Champagne (750 ml) - 25 bottles. Red Wine (750 ml) - 15 bottles. White wine (750 ml) - 15 bottles. Spirits (1 liter) - 16 bottles. Beer - 150 cans or bottles.
For a 4 hour party with 100 guests, you will need approximately 400 drinks: 160 beers, 144 glasses of wine (29 bottles) and enough liqueur for 96 individual cocktails (amounts will depend upon what type of cocktail you serve). If you aren't serving wine, plan on 240 cocktails.
