Wedding Alcohol Calculator

Stocking a wedding bar is mostly a counting problem once you settle on a rule of thumb. Enter your guest count, how many hours the bar is open, the share of guests who drink and how you want to split beer, wine and spirits. The estimate allows two drinks in the first hour and one each hour after, then converts those drinks into bottles, cases and champagne for the toast. Buy a little above the figure, since a warm day or a generous pour moves the numbers quickly.
