Casual gathering or daytime event: People tend to drink less. Expect 1-2 drinks per person per hour. Evening or formal events: The consumption will likely be higher, closer to 2-3 drinks per person per hour.

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.)

(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.

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.

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.

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.

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)

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.
