Worked example

For 100 adults at a five-hour reception, test a conservative consumption rate and add a separate buffer only after reviewing your venue policy and guest profile.

Guest behavior varies widely. The estimate does not account for abstainers, minors, signature cocktails, venue pour sizes, local alcohol rules, return policies, bartender judgment or nonalcoholic drinks.

Planning estimate only. Serve alcohol lawfully and responsibly. Never use this tool to encourage excessive consumption.
