Also to know is, how do you stock a bar for 100 guests?
Full bar – Beer, wine and liquor:
- 100 (guests) x 5 (hours) = 500 drinks.
- 500 x 0.33 = 170 beers or 7 cases of beer or one ½ barrel sized keg.
- 500 x 0.33 = 150 glasses of wine, /5 glasses per bottle= 37 bottles of wine.
- 500 x 0.33 = 150 mixed drinks, /39 servings per 1.75 bottle = four 1.75ml bottles liquor.
