Do i have enough Alcohol??

Sierra, on December 27, 2021 at 8:02 AM Posted in Planning 0 7
So Im getting married this Saturday, and I’m worried we didn’t get enough alcohol. We’ve gotten 10 cases of beer and 10 cases of trulys, so I have about 240 alcoholic beverages. We have around 140 guests, including children, so I’m a little worried it may not be enough. My family are drinkers, especially for big occasions, so what do y’all think?

    I don’t know how long your event is or what your adult to child ratio looks like, but I’d say you probably don’t have enough if your event is longer than 2-3 hours. Most people calculate that drinking adults will have two drinks the first hour and roughly one drink per hour after that.

    I think you would need more than that. Assuming a case is 12 cans/bottles, you have about 264 drinks. With 140 guests, it’ll be about 2 drinks per person?
    I would calculate 5-6 drinks per person. So definitely get more alcohol. Maybe bottles of wine as well.

    Agreed with PP. If your family has big drinkers I would estimate at least one drink per person per hour.

    The average is one drink per person per hour. I would add red and white wine to the mix.

    I agree with PP. Not only would I get a lot more alcohol but I would add red and white wine.

    We actually don’t have a bartender or server so wine is a no go. With my wedding just days away there’s not much I can do sadly!
