Hosting in Calgary is an art form, and the single most common mistake is under-ordering. Here is the math, the timing, and the backup plan.
For a casual gathering of 10–15 people over an evening, plan on roughly two drinks per person for the first hour and one per hour after that. That usually lands around two flats of beer, two or three bottles of wine, and a 750ml bottle of spirits with mixers — adjust up for a crowd that came to celebrate.
Timing matters more than quantity. Order the bulk before guests arrive, then keep a delivery line on standby for the inevitable mid-party top-up. Because we run around the clock, the 11 p.m. "we're out of beer" emergency is a thirty-minute fix, not a night-ender.
Don't forget the unglamorous essentials: ice, mixers, and non-alcoholic options for the designated drivers. We carry all of it, so one call covers the whole order.
When you run short — and you will — call us. Tell us the address, tell us the order, and a driver is on the way across Calgary, Airdrie or Chestermere.
