How this is calculated — Total drinks assume 1 drink per guest in the first hour, plus 0.5 drinks per guest for each additional hour, adjusted by pace. Beer is counted as 12 oz servings (~24 to a case), wine as 5 oz pours (~5 per bottle), and liquor as 1.5 oz pours (~16 per bottle). Ice is figured at 1.5 lb per guest, covering both drinks and cooling. These are planning estimates — actual consumption varies by guest list, weather, and event style.
