Emily,
I always go by the official 1984 ounces a keg. In terms of figuring out a formula, I regulate no more than 2 drinks an hour, which translates into 24 ounces an hour.
In classic student irony, students were absolutely furious when we said that they could only have 2 12-ounce cups of beer at an event an hour. So, I changed it to 3 8-ounce cups an hour...and they fine with it, claiming victory. We all just had to sit back and smile at that one.

Subject: "formula" for keg use at parties
Colleagues,
I am curious if any of you use or are aware of a "formula" for
calculating how many kegs are appropriate for a specific number of
people at a party. In other words, if we know that approximately 100
people (21 and over) are going to be attending a four hour party,
what would be the maximum number of kegs that party should be
allotted? I am thinking that the formula should be based on how many
ounces are consumed per hour, per person? Does anyone know exactly
how many ounces are in a keg?
It is partly my responsibility to ensure that registered, public
parties on our campus do not supply more alcohol than should be
consumed by their party-goers in the time allotted. Any advice would
be appreciated!
