How much beer would you buy for a party of 60 adults?!


Question:

How much beer would you buy for a party of 60 adults?

We want to buy cans/bottles, not a keg. A case holds 24 cans. How many cases do you think I need to buy? I was thinking about 10 cases. Do you think that is suffiencient? (I'd much rather have too much than not enough).Please keep in mind that there are some heavy beer drinkers; but I also am serving wine and some mixed drinks.
Thanks!


Answers:
Assuming they all drink.. and you buy 12oz cans or bottles... You should have at least five 30pks.

That 150 beers. Everyone will be able to have 2 beers, with 30 leftovers. But... I'd guess some people will have 10 beers that night... so I'd say get nine 30pks, or save by getting a keg and a bottle of vodka.

How long is the party to last?

Generally, two beers per hour per person.

6 cases

ALOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

i would at least!

6 packs you need beer

about 10 cases.

I would think 2 per person,per hour.Don't forget to have a D.D.

You might want to get some more.

figure 2-5 beers per person, depending on wether your friends are real drinkers or not.

well, if it were my lushy friends a 12 pack apeice would just get them warmed up. maybe you could get a keg too cause you know after about 5 or 6 drinks it doesnt really matter what you serve lol!!

man ur wasting ur money if u buy that much beer in bottles and cans..u just need to get a keg or 2 if ur having liquor too! trust me!

None. Give 'em water it's safer....

pretty sure you said a PARTY.. and screw 2 per hr.. if you have heavy drinkers they will drink 12-18 themselves.. so for 60 people.. hmm 12-15 cases at least!

Don't provide beer, maybe 1 or two cases in the back fridge just in case people run out but otherwise BYOB.

Bring your own booze. Providing beer for 60 people makes you look desperate for friends.

I would buy 13 cases that is enough for 5 beers a person, if you don't want a rowdy party I would only by 5 cases or so this allows only 2 beers a person but that would be kinda boring. If you have shots also this could cut down on beer drinking also but it could increase your cost. Have a good time but remember not to Drink and Drive? and don't let your guests either?

duklin has a good thought, but 2 per hour is kinda high considering you are responsible for these people when they leave. Plus, some people are going to do the wine and mixed drinks. So 1 per hour per person you should not run out.

Well if they are like some of my friends, you'll need a 12 pack a piece. But probably 10 cases with a beer run if needed will be just fine. People can drink a lot at an all nighter.

i would guess that everyone will drink about 3 beers....so...about 180 beers, thats...about 8 cases of 24.

to give you an idea i use to but 2 in a half cases for 3 heavy drinkers.that would last the night and usally get us started the next morning.

depends on on who drinks how much and how many like beer. I would say maybe six or seven cases. Plus some coolers for something sweet.

Way off. I think that you will be fine with 4 cases.
You need to be offering other things like wine, soda, bottled water, and other liquor.

10-15 cases should be enough

BYOB

tell them the party is byob(bring your own bottle) cause that will be expensive , and provide some but not all
