How many drinks per person per hour?

We start at about one drink per guest per hour for beer and wine, a bit more for a full bar.

Does a signature bar reduce quantities?

Often yes — fewer choices can lower total consumption, but plan for more garnishes and specialty glassware.

Yes. Even with alcohol, count water and soft drinks for designated drivers, kids, and guests who do not drink.
