For 100 drinking guests over a five-hour reception at one drink an hour, that's 500 drinks. Split across wine, beer and spirits, buy about 50 bottles of wine, 7 cartons of beer and 5 bottles of spirits, plus 20 bottles of bubbles if everyone gets a glass for the toast.

The general rule is to have one drink per guest per hour on hand. A balanced night might be three in the first hour, two through the middle and one in the last, and a big night can run to three an hour. These are stock levels for the bar, not how much anyone should drink.

No. Not everyone drinks at the same pace, and plenty won't drink at all, so these are amounts to have on hand. Australian guidelines say healthy adults should have no more than 4 standard drinks on any one day, so serve food and water all night and make sure everyone gets home safely.

About five. A 750ml bottle pours five average glasses of 150ml in Australia, and five 5-ounce glasses in the US. The same goes for sparkling, so one bottle covers five guests for the toast.

A 700ml bottle in Australia pours 23 standard 30ml nips. In the US, a 750ml bottle pours 16 1.5-ounce shots.
