Unless you live in a college dorm, do not buy cheap
alcohol for your party. Buy name brands because they taste much better. Also, we recommend bottled beer, unless
you are having a party with the younger crowd, in which case a keg is much cheaper.
The amounts below depend on your crowd, how many are driving, etc. The amounts can be adjusted up for a big party
crowd that has rides home, or are walking, etc. If everyone likes the same thing, you will run out of that, and
have unopened bottles of the other, so adjust according to your crowd. Use inexpensive plastic cups for easy clean
up. |

| NOTES:
Popular whiskey brands are Seagram 7 and Black Velvet. Buy Coke, not Pepsi. Pepsi is too sweet to use in drinks.
Buy cans of soda because some people will just want a can. If you know of several Bloody Mary drinkers, buy extra
mix. You will need at least the minimum party mixing kit, but we recommend the Platinum Party Kit because it has
everything you will need. |
