How many soft drinks needed for a party of 150?

I can't give you an exact number of soft drinks needed for a party of 150. Here's why:

* Party type: A casual backyard BBQ will need less drinks than a formal dinner party.

* Guest demographics: Adults tend to drink less than teenagers, and some guests may not drink soda at all.

* Weather: Hot weather will likely lead to more drinks consumed.

* Duration: A longer party will require more drinks.

* Availability of other beverages: If you're serving other drinks like water, juice, or beer, people might opt for those instead.

Here's how to estimate:

1. Consider average consumption: A good rule of thumb is 2-3 drinks per person for a typical party.

2. Factor in the party type and weather: Adjust your estimate upward for hot weather, long events, or if you expect a lot of teenagers.

3. Offer variety: Consider having a mix of regular and diet sodas, as well as other non-alcoholic beverages.

Example:

For a casual 4-hour party with a mix of ages in moderate weather, you might estimate needing:

* Low end: 150 guests x 2 drinks/person = 300 drinks

* High end: 150 guests x 3 drinks/person = 450 drinks

It's always better to have a little extra than to run out!
