Calculating Servings

Quick Reference Assistance

Calculating Servings:

1.) Calculate the possible # of servings

(# of legal aged drinkers) X (# of hours of Event) = # of servings allowed.

2.) Determine quantity necessary to accommodate # of servings.

Quick Reference: Containers of Servings:

1 Keg = 150 servings of Beer

1 Bottle (liter) of wine = 6 servings of wine

1 Gallon = 128 Ounces

1 Liter = 33.8 ounces

Quick Reference: Individual Servings

1 Serving =

  • 12 ounces of beer (non "ice" beer)
  • 5 ounces of wine
  • 1 ounce of distilled 80 proof spirits or hard liquor.
