If you have received an invitation to a party lately chances are you have gotten an Evite as well. For those of you who do not know what an Evite is: it is a social-planning website for creating, sending, and managing online invitations (wikipedia). You can design your own party, set up themes, allow guests to interact with each other, see who will attend and who will not, along with a bunch of other stuff.

The reason why we are writing about it is that we discovered one of their new tools. It is called the Drinking calculator. Basically it tells you how much alcohol to get based on: The number of each type of drinker: light, average, heavy; what will be served: beer, wine, liquor; and how long the party will last.

So we decided to test the drink calculator. We made it a party of 10 heavy drinkers (drinking beer and liquor) and we made the party last for 2 hours (a fairly normal pre-party before heading out to the bars). Drink calculator says: 1 case of beer and two liters of liquor (40 shots total).

This equates approximately to: 4 shots and 2 beers per person in two hours. (although 4 lucky people get a 3^rd beer) Your body metabolizes roughly 1 shot per hour. So before you head out to the bar you realistically have 2 shots and 2 beers in your system.

Our thinking was they should have thrown another case of beer in. What do you think? Do you agree with us? Is this too little or is this too much? Does the drink calculator have it right or does somebody need to check it’s scales? Submit your opinion on our vote page. Don’t like this article? Think you can write a better one, hot shot?
