How many drinks per person?
For most events, guests will consume between 2 and 4 drinks per hour depending on the event type, duration, and atmosphere.
This calculator uses a balanced split:
- 50% beer
- 30% wine
- 20% soft drinks
Drinks planning tips
Consumption increases at longer events and when drinks are freely available. Evening events tend to result in higher alcohol consumption than daytime events.
Always allow a buffer to avoid running out, especially for larger groups.
