  • Allow 4-5 standard drinks per person

  • One bottle of wine for the wine connoisseurs

  • A 750 ml bottle of spirits provides 25 standard drinks

  • Purchase a couple of kegs rather than many cartons of various beers. You will save a lot of money.

  • Consider hiring a bar from your caterer or party hire business.

  • Make sure you supply non-alcoholic beverages for the non drinkers or those who need to sober up.
