Now you've got about 66 crawlers or so, judging by the latter posts and you've got 10 room hosts. Lets do some math. If each station produced 10 drinks, that would cover all the guests and then some (figuring stragglers and tag-alongs) that's 100 drinks. Now, each person is having a drink at each station then, and guest what, that is 10 drinks (plus extra servings or extra drinks for the tag-alongs). Think about this: Is anyone gonna still be standing and able to go to the evening's festivities after 10 drinks? So I think it is safe to assume that the overall amount of booze needed won't come close to say maybe 10 drinks per station. Now, based on that, you could calculate how much booze you want to bring. Last time I bartended at a party, I ended up with way more lime juice than I needed (an extra 2 quarts), and I don't know how that happened so do your own math - figure how many ounces you need of each mix for each drink and multiply. Add Lava Pants and myself (Hanalei Pirate) to the list of crawlers. I'm a lightweight and good for maybe 2 to 3 drinks max so I will only be drinking at maybe 2 or 3 stations (or perhaps I could do small samples at each). Lava Pants is just along for the ride and usually drinks beer so he won't be any kind of a load on this. BTW, are all the drink hosts serving Friday Afternoon with no one doing this on Thursday or Saturday? If this is spread out over the 2 days, the burden on each host increases. Say you have 5 stations serving on Friday and 5 stations on Saturday: 5 stations serving 10 drinks each = 50 drinks. That's not enough to cover 66 crawlers. So each station should serve 15 to 20 drinks (total of 75 to 100 drinks per station per day to supply the 66 crawlers). Please correct me if my math is messed up. Otherwise I'd stick with just a Friday room crawl to make it easier on the hosts. Don't forget you can instill a per person drink limit and use a small cup size for serving. And of course we will all be donating into the tip jars to defray costs on the hosts. There's my contribution to the logistics.
