Alcohol Guest Consumption Calculator
How much alchohol do you need to order for your wedding and how much do you need per guest? It’s okay if you over order then you can always bring it back to the liquor store for a refund…be sure to keep your receipt. Running out at your event, isn’t cool and makes you and the bartender stressed out. Make sure to provide ample food (fruit, sweets etc) throughout the reception as this helps alcohol metabolism.
Alcohol Calculations
1. Calculate how many people will be drinking at the event.
2. Multiply this number by four, is tells you the maximum number of standard drinks you need.
3. Convert this number of standard drinks into cases of beer, bottles of spirits and wine.
Wine:
One bottle (approximately 750 ml) is approximately six four-ounce servings
Beer:
Generally, one case of 12 beers (341 ml size) will serve Approximately four to six people, averaging 2-3 beers per guest
Spirits: One bottle (approximately 750 ml) provides approximately 20 to 24 drinks
Then you have your soft drinks, juice, ice, mixes, lemons, limes etc. With those, it’s OK to overbuy as you can take them home after.
Most importantly make sure you have prepared for everyone to get a safe ride home. Stop serving alcoholic beverages at least an hour before reception is over. Book ahead with taxi companies, get relatives to volunteer to drive or stay at a nearby hotel.
