Some Words on Safety

It is crucial to remember that, while it is fine to enjoy a drink

or two at one’s own party, the safety of your guests is your

responsibility and yours alone. This means that if you are

going to have enough to drink to make driving illegal, you

must designate someone to remain sober. Often, this would

be the doorman, hired from a service or a volunteer from your

group of friends. The doorman, clearly, doesn’t get to drink

at all. Someone must be able to call an ambulance or drive

someone to a the hospital, God forbid, and be cogent enough

to make decisions about calling cabs for guests who are in

no shape to drive. One cannot make an accurate estimate of

someone’s sobriety when one is inebriated oneself.

Step 1

Determine the capacity of your venue, and from that the

number of guests and bartending stations. The maximum

capacity for your house or apartment is not how many people

can fit in it without anyone being trampled to death, but

rather how many people can be promptly served, cleaned up

after in a reasonable amount of time, and be provided with

bathroom facilities. Eight to ten square feet per person is a

good starting point to determine your maximum capacity.

One bathroom can serve forty guests, maximum.

Cocktails are not worth

intellectualising,

they are just something to

be experienced.
