this is for an economics paper i am writing

Why are they eating crown?

i'm thinking about 8 bottles should be enough

Rich people

120 750mL bottles

That depends on whether or not Fred is invited. Fred requires x4 the average amount.

i'm only springing for four bottles of ketel

they can drink smirnoff after that

For how long?

also, beam and jack will be the balance for whiskey

crown is going to be "top shelf" for this event

If all 200 are teetotalers then zero bottles should do the trick.

4 hours
200 people
indoors

Eleventy Billion

T&P for fred's liver

a single bottle of macallen will be hidden on the premises

of those coming, i believe i have calculated that no one does not drink, around 100 or so will drink between 2 and 4 servings, 50 will go between 4 and 7, 25 will go between 7-10, and 25 will go 10+

it's just a matter of "top shelf" quantity, really

can I have all the beam?

thanks

Between 90-110 bottles.

750 mL that is.

i don't believe you have taken into account all of the variables in this complex problem

Call a reputable caterer or bar service. They will be able to give you a reasonably exact number.

i'm in touch with my alcohol guy

i'm just trying to estimate when my patrons will be too drunk to care what they're drinking

i settled on 8 bottles of crown

that's a **** load of crown

I hope you mean per table. Anything less is just offensive to the guests.

they can deal

Me & my guest would like a bottle each. Am I gonna have to fight folks?

Is there going to be any Mad Dog there? I need to know in case I need to bring my own.

boone's farm will be available

melon ball, blue hawaiian, and strawberry hill

Each 750 ml bottle contains 25.36 oz, which equates to 16.91 drinks per bottle based on a 1.5 oz serving size. Assuming the average guest has 3 drinks, you will need about 600 drinks to serve. 600/16.71 = 35.49 bottles. You will need 36 bottles of Crown.

Obviously there are those that won't drink and others, such as myself, who would have 5-6.

At $31.95 per bottle, it will cost $1,150.

5 drinks each you need 60 bottles.

i'm assuming my average guest will have ~6 drinks

that's 9.3 drinks per guest assuming 110 bottles. Have a hard time believing every guest will/can drink that much. Way overboard.

then you need 71 bottles.

but i have a lot of other alcohol that i'll be serving as well

different ranges of beer and wine and liquor

deciding the cutoff point for quality is my goal

one bottle of mccormicks. your guests will have as much as they care to drink and I bet you walk out with over half that sucker.

personally, I think the cutoff will be 3-4. Go with my first post and get 36 bottles.

crown = quality?

Since when?
