How Much Liquor At Your Wedding Reception?
1 | 2 | 3
Whether you're having a few guests over for a quiet dinner, or busily finalizing plans for a reception, there are always many questions with respect to the beverage alcohol you plan to serve, and the responsibilities associated with being a host.

If you are able to provide your own liquor for your reception, then you will probably save a good deal of money. Here are a few guidelines on what to buy based on the standard of 100 guests. Please do not forget to get a Liquor Permit.

Guidelines for Wine

A standard serving of wine is five ounces at 12% alcohol by volume. This means that you get:
    Five glasses per 750 mL bottle
    Seven glasses per litre
    10 1/2 glasses per magnum

Guidelines for Spirits

A 750 mL (26 oz.) bottle gives approximately 17 standard drinks. You will need three similarly sized bottles of mix. Allow three drinks per person. Guest preferences or a party theme may affect the types of spirits purchased, so the following is only a basic guide for making spirit purchases:
    30% Canadian Whisky
    20% Vodka
    20% Rum
    10% Scotch
    10% Gin (more popular in summer)
    10% Float or something unusual (e.g. liqueurs or Schnapps)

Extra fruit juices and soft drinks should be provided for the designated drivers and non-drinkers.
