Alcohol invariably accompanies us on all holidays. Sometimes, because of its overabundance or lack, conflicts and misunderstandings arise. This is especially sad at a wedding, when it would seem that all the guests should pay attention to the newlyweds more than to the festive table. How to calculate the amount of alcohol so that guests can relax without consequences?

Instructions
Step 1
It is better to start buying alcohol in advance, because even a child knows about the unpredictability of prices in our country. Pre-discuss with the administration of the cafe or restaurant in which you will celebrate the celebration, whether you can bring alcoholic drinks with you. If the institution buys a strong drink on its own, then you can relax. Professionals will be able to accurately calculate its quantity themselves. You will only have to make sure that everything was delivered on time, and whether the alcohol on the tables matches your order. The only thing that can darken your mood, the cost of the banquet will increase by an order of magnitude.
Step 2
If you decide to purchase alcoholic beverages yourself, make a complete guest list. Without this, at least an approximate list, it is almost impossible to calculate the amount of alcohol. Please note that at the last moment someone can still be added, so count on drinks for an additional 5 people. Divide guests into groups. First, include the newlyweds themselves, their witnesses and parents (as well as grandparents). In the second, all men present at the festival. List the beautiful half of the guests in the third group. And the fourth will be children and non-drinkers invited.
Step 3
For the first group, plan 2 bottles of champagne, 3 bottles of wine, and 1 bottle of vodka. Usually, neither the witnesses nor the newlyweds have time to sit at the table, and the parents are too worried to rest. Children, accordingly, do not drink alcohol, so this group cannot be counted on. The most difficult calculation will be for the second and third groups.
Step 4
For one man, you can safely plan 1 bottle of 0.5 liters of vodka. For one woman, lay one 0.75 liter bottle of wine. Please note that both red and white wine should be placed on the table. Usually they drink more red, so you can count on 1.5 bottles of wine per person. Of these, 1 bottle of red and 0.5 bottles of white. Cognac and champagne are less popular drinks at a wedding. When calculating them, you should adhere to the following standards. One bottle of cognac is placed for 8-10 people, one bottle of champagne for 3-4 guests.
Step 5
Consider the holiday program as well. If it involves a lot of competitions and dances, the amount of alcohol can be slightly reduced. If, on the contrary, a quiet dinner wedding is planned, the number of bottles on the tables should increase. The time of year also affects the amount of alcohol. In winter, there should be more strong drinks, and in summer, accordingly, less.
