Super Bowl Party Drink and Food Calculator
For 100 guests over the game's five hours, a full bar comes to 17 cases of beer, 6 bottles of wine, 5 bottles of spirits, and 2 bottles of champagne, about 437 drinks in total. The numbers already include a 15 percent buffer, and each one is that drink's share of a single shared bar, not a separate order. Beer takes the largest share by a wide margin, at 60.9 percent, and champagne the smallest, at 4.3 percent. That fits the day: this is the most beer-forward event on the site, since cans in a cooler suit a game watched from a couch better than poured drinks. The total runs about 125 drinks at 25 guests and 812 at 200, moving beer from 5 cases to 30.
Food here is sized as the main dish: 48 pizzas, 128 pounds of wings, 25 dozen tacos, 30 dozen sliders, 34 platters of appetizers, and 37 pounds of BBQ or pulled pork for the same 100 guests.

Planning notes
- Beer moves fastest early and again at the finish, so keep the coolers stocked from the first quarter on.
- Keep spare beer cold and ready. A game that runs to overtime can go through far more than expected.
