Wow. i dont drink. i just thought i would check out your post. i had no idea alcohol was so expensive. lol i never paid any attention.

Our vendor estimated 6 drinks per person at $6 a drink. We figured not everyone will drink that much and may drink more. I think 30 bottles of wine may be a lot for 35 ppl. There are roughly about 4 glasses of wine in a bottle. If everyone drink a bottle of wine, that's 35 bottles. Same thing with the bubbley. People probably won't have more than a glass of champagne so figure 4 glasses a bottle, that would only be about 9 bottles. It's better to have too much than too little, but you don't want to break the bank either.

When you have parties or see these people at the holidays, what do they drink?

Buy according to what they like to drink. No reason to have all those bottles of wine if no one ever drinks wine at your parties.

Or find a less expensive wine if you are on a tight budget.

We doing the bubbly just for the first toast. So, I guess I can go down to 10 bottles on those. See, we have russian/italian wedding, meaning everyone drinks. a lot!!! haha. italians love wine, and if I can easily drink a bottle myself, I'm sure some of them can drink even more...hmmm....I just hope it's enough. If I have any left over - the store takes unopened bottles back. I really didn't plan on spending more than a $1000 on alcohol though, but now I'm wondering if I should budget a little higher on alcohol...

Haha. the calculator said 120 bottles of beer and 24 bottles of wine, and considering we going to have more wine drinkers than beer drinkers, I'm very close in my estimation.

Anyone having a simple signature drink with vodka? I need something very simple. (no orange juice, lol)

I think with so many vodkas out there you can do anything cheap with that. Like you could use any of the fruity vodka flavors like fruit loops or cherry or whatever and mix with sprite.
