The general rule is to provide one gallon of punch for every 10 guests. A conservative estimate assumes each guest will drink about three four-ounce servings.

Punches, therefore, contain significantly less alcohol, and since the highlight is often fruit juices, taste quite a bit sweeter than your standard co*cktail.

For example, a typical selection for a party of 100 people would be 400 standard drinks, distributed in this way: 200 – 12oz. bottles or cans of beer (400 x 50% = 200 drinks. 200 divided by 1 = 200 bottles.)
