Halloween Party Drink and Food Calculator
For 100 guests at a four-hour Halloween party, a full bar comes to 14 bottles of spirits, 13 bottles of wine, 6 cases of beer, and 3 bottles of champagne, about 372 drinks in total. Each figure already includes some cushion for spills, so there is no need to round up further. Spirits lead at 43.5 percent, the largest share here, beer takes 30.4 percent, wine 17.4 percent, and champagne trails at 8.7 percent. That split fits how Halloween tends to run: themed shots and batched cocktails carry more of the night than at most other events on the site. The total scales to about 106 drinks at 25 guests and 691 at 200, taking spirits from 4 bottles to 25.
On the food side, planning for food as the main dish at 100 guests means 44 pizzas, 98 pounds of wings, 23 dozen tacos, 25 dozen sliders, 34 platters of appetizers, and 23 pounds of pulled pork.

Planning notes
- Specialty cocktails with spooky names are a must - batch them ahead.
- Dark spirits (whiskey, dark rum) fit the theme better than clear spirits.
