Frequently Asked Questions
How many drinks does a person typically have per hour?
A common estimate is about 1 drink per person per hour, though this varies based on the crowd and event type.
How is the alcohol split between liquor, wine, and beer?
This calculator assumes a rough default mix of 40% liquor, 30% wine, and 30% beer, which you can adjust by changing the total drinks and buying accordingly.
How much ice should I buy per guest?
A good rule of thumb is 1 to 1.5 pounds of ice per guest for drinks and coolers combined.
