  • Guests are coming over and it's time to go booze shopping. How many drinks do you actually need per person? A professional caterer breaks down how to make sure you buy enough, but not too much, to make the most of your budget.

The article from Food & Wine discusses the optimal amount of alcohol to serve at a party to ensure guests have a good time without overdoing it. It suggests that the key is to provide enough variety and quantity to keep the party lively but not so much that it leads to excessive drinking. The article recommends calculating roughly one drink per hour per guest, with adjustments for factors like the duration of the event, the type of guests (e.g., heavy drinkers vs. light drinkers), and the availability of non-alcoholic options. It also emphasizes the importance of offering a mix of beer, wine, and spirits, alongside non-alcoholic beverages, to cater to all preferences. Additionally, the piece advises on practical tips like setting up a self-serve bar to manage consumption and ensuring there are plenty of food options to slow down alcohol absorption. The overarching theme is moderation and variety to foster a fun, safe, and inclusive party atmosphere.
