Party People

Is there some kind of formula I can use to figure how much beer/wine I should have on hand for a party?

I know that Martha Stewart has one - but it's for light weights Chat Icon

I'm talking crazy fiesta here.

Re: Party People

How many people and what kind of booze? All kinds? Wine drinkers? Beer drinkers?

How many people?

Re: Party People

Probably 50 people.
It's a Halloween party.
I'm also making jello shots. Lots of them.

Wine v Beer - could go any way. As far as the wine - I was going to buy a case of red, case of white.

The beer - I've already purchased 5 cases.

I'm just paranoid. I act like every party is a Frat party.

Whoever asks me what to bring, I tell them what they drink. So I think I should be ok.

I've already entered that in to my calculation.

So, evite does have a calculator. According to my entries, I need
42 bottles of wine
210 cans of beer

Re: Party People

I always rather have more than less...but it sounds like you have plenty. Also buy some vodka, rum, gin for the people who don't like beer or wine...plus OJ, cranberry juice, ginger ale, sprite, pineapple juice, etc.

Yeah - those people can scratch.
Beer and wine is all I'm providing.

I'll have mixers, but that's where I draw the line.

I'm sure they will. But I'm OCD when it comes to having enough drink and food.

if you are telling peeps to bring what they drink, you should be more than fine.

It depends on your crowd.

Christmas Eve dinner, 12 of us have been known to polish off a case and a half (of vino).
