To estimate how many gallons of tea and lemonade you’ll need for 100 people, you can consider the following:
1. How Much Drink Per Person?
- For a typical event, people usually drink about 2-3 cups of beverage each.
- Since there are 16 cups in a gallon, this translates to about 1/2 to 3/4 gallon per person.
2. Estimating the Total Gallons:
- For 100 people:
- If each person drinks 2 cups (1/8 gallon), you will need approximately 12.5 gallons (100 x 1/8 gallon).
- If each person drinks 3 cups (3/16 gallon), you will need approximately 18.75 gallons (100 x 3/16 gallon).
3. Tea vs. Lemonade:
- If you plan to serve half tea and half lemonade:
- You’ll need about 6-9 gallons of tea and 6-9 gallons of lemonade.
So, for 100 people, around 12-19 gallons of tea and lemonade combined would be a good estimate, with equal parts of each drink. You can adjust depending on your guests’ preferences!4
