need help- how many 2 liters for 100 ppl?

I am organizing an event for my job and was asked to order food/drinks. How many 2 liters do you think I should order for 100 people?

Figuring that a 2 liter is plenty for 4 people, I would say 25 bottles. That may even be a little too much, but I always like to have more than not enough. HTH

I would say 25, but I myself would probably order 35 just to be sure

DH and I could drink a 2 liter in one sitting easy so I would always get more than not have enough. As long as they are closed, they coudl be returned.

Plus- how long the even is is a factor

ok i was just concerned because the catering website i'm ordering from says 8 people per one 2 liter. Maybe I should go back and revise the order.

I think 25 is plenty if you are having other beverages (coffee, tea, alcohol, etc). A lot of people don't drink soda.

you can get 8 cups from a 2 liter bottle - most cups are not that small and a lot of people who drink soda will have more then one cup.

But I agree with Bargainmama - 25 is plenty if you are serving other drinks.

8 cups per 2 liter, but I know in one work meeting I drink at least 2 cups.

Same here that's why I said as much in my reply. I easily drink a 20oz bottle with lunch so an 8 oz cup is not going to go too far for me.
