so you have 60 bottles of beer and about 500 standard drinks of spirits/wine.

Interesting choices. I mean, I would prefer to drink beer, but as long as there's 10-20 likewise minded people, it'll be gone. Quickly.

Dat's a lotta hooch!

I would say your choices are okay...Drayke might have a point but most people we know who are big drinkers tend to drink mixers/cocktails. I'm talking me/James/Marie/Fripp. I guess we are beer drinkers too though :P I can't think of that many big beer drinkers. I would say Little Creatures Pale Ale is nicer than Amber Ale personally but given I'll probably be drinking spirits I wouldn't listen to me.

Yeah, there was a lot of beer left over from my party. It seems like people wanted to drink punch or wine. Are you gunna make punch?? I'd knock out one of the spirits if $$ is an issue. Punch is good.

I was thinking that over catering spirits wont matter, because I can just store it for later.

[arinellen]

The thing was, I was thinking the people who drink lots refuse to drink beer AND spirits and I thought people would preffer spirits (for shots etc.)

OH GOD YOU HAVE NO JAGERMEISTER ON THAT LIST

[bloodied_aura]

(allcaps appropriate)

It's not a big deal though.

[arinellen]

Maybe I should swap it out for the Kaluha. Or the 1800..

I had a carton of Becks, a carton of Hahn Super Dry, a carton of Hahn light and a carton of Carlton Fusion thingy...all that was left over was about a dozen Hahn lights.

As for spirits, I didn't seem to go through that much...the tequila and sambucca was emptied, but not much vodka was drunk. (I had two bottles, and it looked like only 4 shots had been taken from one of them. Maybe they were shit? Skyy and Smirnoff Black Copperpot). Also lots of champagne and a fair amount of wine was left over. Overcatering is better than undercatering I guess.

[arinellen]

Well then three cartons sounds good. That makes me feel safer. And I think we had about the same amount of people too.

Well, I'll knock off the white wine for Pop for the punch (apparently the best punch is made with vodca and Pop).
Maybe half the red wine?
I'll keep the same amount of champagne because Mum will drink it later with teacher friends.

Basically spirits will keep (where as keeing beer is annoying) and I want a selection.

I think I'll remove the Kaluah. Because I'm not sure if there's anyone other then me who drinks it.

[patternsofchaos]

I had about 50 people drinking, maybe 40 drinking.

Yup, passion pop is good for punch (and not much else :P) Most people I know seem to drink white wine rather than red.
