 Alcohol Measures to serve {4}

DISCUSSION:

Above we have outlined the correct number of drinks and bottles of wine
you can expect to serve at a cocktail or dinner party for four guests.

Use this file to determine the correct number of bottles you will need to
have on hand during your event.  Simply use the ALT C function and enter
the number of guests attending your function.  You may enter up to 9,999.

NOTE: Make sure that your blinking cursor is at the top of your screen
      when using ALT C.  You can also use the SIZE option if this file is
      the ONLY file in the filer's editor.

In determining liquor amounts, i.e 750ml bottles of liquor, or liter
bottles, use this file to first determine the overall amount of liquor
required in 1 liter bottles, or 750ml bottles.  Use this total to create
a break down of liquor types, i.e burbon, scotch, gin, etc., and obtain
the liquor preferences of your guests.

In the case of wines, use the wine guide in this program to determine
which type and kind of wines are appropiate for the foods you are serving.

You will notice that we have also included the cost of the units of wine
beer and liquor for the event.

Make certain that you always ascertain the preferences of your guests.
If they are all beer drinkers or wine drinkers, then double these amount
prior to using the resizer feature.  Also, if the event is informal (pool
party, etc.), also planned to double the wine or beer amounts.

You may estimate that 2, 12oz. cans of beer are equal to one 750ml bottle
of wine in estimating beer amounts.  So, for the above example we would
have at least 8 cans of beer on hand. (One 12 oz can of beer contains
363.63 milliliters of liquid, So actually 1, 750ml bottle contains the
equavilent of 2.06 cans of beer.)

You will also see that we have included the prices, revenues and pro-
fit in this example.  As prices vary depending upon brands and areas
of the country, it will be necessary for you to first adjust the prices
listed above to reflect your actual purchase costs prior to bidding any
catering event.
