    I’d estimate one drink per person, per hour of the event, plus one more each. In other words, if the party is three hours long, plan on each person having around four servings of their chosen beverage. That doesn’t mean each person will have that many drinks; some will have more and some will have less. But if you can figure out an average, you should have plenty to go around.

    Beverages that come in gallon containers will yield 16 8-ounce servings. That comes out to four drinks per person during our three-hour party, which means we’ll need three gallons to total 48 servings.
