Luckily, we&#8217;ve got a handy <strong>party drink calculator<\/strong> to help you avoid overspending on liquor while still having enough.<\/p>\n<p>And if you read our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reventals.com\/blog\/how-many-glasses-do-i-need\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How Many Glasses Do You Need? <\/a> blog, you may be searching for some additional information on how much alcohol to buy to go in those glasses.<\/p>\n<h2>Party Drink Calculator<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plan on one drink per drinking guest for every hour the bar is open. A 4-hour party with 100 guests needs about 400 drinks. That&#8217;s the quick answer. Your actual shopping list depends on who&#8217;s drinking, what you&#8217;re pouring and whether it&#8217;s 90 degrees outside.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our free party drink calculator handles it all. Enter your guest count and bar hours, choose your bar style, and you&#8217;ll get beer, wine, liquor, champagne, water, and ice amounts, plus a shopping list you can copy straight to your phone.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"15547\" class=\"elementor elementor-15547\"

How much wine do I need for 50 guests? 100?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"119\" data-end=\"290\">We plan on one drink per guest per hour. For a 4-hour event, that means four glasses of wine per guest. A standard bottle of wine pours about five glasses.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"292\" data-end=\"436\">For 50 guests, that comes out to 200 glasses of wine, or 40 bottles. For 100 guests, plan on 400 glasses, or 80 bottles.<\/p>\n<p>What if I only want to serve beer and wine? How much beer and wine do I need for 100 guests?<\/p>\n<p>If you are only serving beer and wine, plan on 60% of your guests drinking beer and 40% drinking wine. For a 4 hour party with 100 guests, you will need 400 servings: 240 beers and 160 glasses of wine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How much alcohol do you need for 50 guests?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For a 4 hour party with 50 guests, you will need approximately 200 drinks: 80 beers, 72 glasses of wine (15 bottles) and enough for 48 individual cocktails (amounts will depend upon what type of cocktail you serve).\u00a0 If you aren&#8217;t serving wine, plan on 120 cocktails.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How much alcohol do you need for 100 guests?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>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).\u00a0 If you aren&#8217;t serving wine, plan on 240 cocktails.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How much alcohol do you need for 150 guests?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For a 4-hour party with 150 guests, you will need approximately 600 drinks: 240 beers, 216 glasses of wine (44 bottles), and enough for 144 individual cocktails (amounts will depend upon what type of cocktail you serve).\u00a0 If you aren&#8217;t serving wine, plan on 360 cocktails.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How much alcohol do you need for 250 guests?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For a 4 hour party with 250 guests, you will need approximately 1000 drinks: 400 beers, 360 glasses of wine (72 bottles) and enough for 240 individual cocktails (amounts will depend upon what type of cocktail you serve).\u00a0\u00a0If you aren&#8217;t serving wine, plan on 600 cocktails.<\/p>\n<p>Keep these tips in mind, and use this party drink calculator, you can rest assured that you will have everything you need (drink-wise) for your big event. \u00a0If you need glasses, tables, chairs, etc. check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reventals.com\/\">reventals.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"15521\" class=\"elementor elementor-15521\" data-elementor-settings=\"{&quot;ha_cmc_init_switcher&quot;:&quot;no&quot;}\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-694724dc e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"694724dc\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2fe9eb5d elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"2fe9eb5d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\n<!--\n  Reventals: Wedding City Links block\n  Paste into an Elementor HTML widget inside the \"Wedding City Links\" saved template.\n\n  TO ADD A CITY: copy one <li> line, update the href, the city name, the state,\n  and data-search (city + state abbreviation + full state name, lowercase).\n  Keep target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" on the link so the city page opens in a new tab.\n  Keep the list alphabetical by city.
