FAQs

  • How much alcohol should I buy for a wedding?
    A common planning baseline is about one drink per drinking guest per hour, then adjusted by guest mix, event length and whether you include a champagne toast.
  • Can this calculator make a shopping list?
    Yes. It converts the drink estimate into beer cases, wine bottles, spirit bottles, mixer liters and champagne bottles.
