How much juice to buy for 200 people?

Answer 1

You can have a rough idea by using some mental math. An average glass is 8 fluid ounces. If each guest were to be given 1-8oz glass, you need at least 1600 fluid ounces of juice.

• 8 fluid ounces/glass x 200 glasses (1 per person) = 1600 fluid ounces.

Now giving your party goers only one glass of juice in unreasonable, so you should assume 5 glasses per person to be safe. Therefore you will need 8000 fluid ounces. Now there are about 128 fluid ounces per gallon. That means you need at least 63 gallons of juice to give every party goer 5 glasses of juice. This takes into account any spills, children, thirsty guests, etc.

Answer 2

It depends on how much juice each person will drink.
