MemberSo I’m struggling with how big of a drink dispenser to buy or even how many to get! Wea re having about 100 guests including about 15 kids. I just bought a bunch of 9 oz cups for cocktail hour but I still don’t know how much drink to estimate for.
Help?

Member1 drink per person per hour. But you have to do the volume math on that one…
HostessAre they heavy or light drinkers? How many different options are you giving? Here’s a drink calculator.
MemberAssuming 1 drink per person per hour, you need 115 drinks for the entire cocktail hour. Each drink is at most 9oz. You’ll need 115*9oz=1035oz = about 8 gallons (128oz/gallon).
If you get a 10gal drink dispenser you’ll have about 25% extra. Really, its probably closer to 30-40% extra since people aren’t going to fill the glass entirely.
