If you had 30 guys, then you would easily finish 2 kegs in a night as it's only 10+ a piece....but with that few drinkers, no way.

There are roughly 162 beers in a keg by the way, you do the math.

Trust me. Over two days we will destroy two kegs.

Last year five of us murdered a keg over fourteen hours.

Update? Or did he die?

2 kegs at roughly 96 pints each

192 pints x roughly 5 icecubes each to keep cold = 960 ice cubes

192 pints divided by 30 ppl = 6.4 pints per person......set up a barf bucket or invite me to help out.

180 Beers in a keg, 2 kegs, 20 people at the party. Thats 360 total beers, or 18 beers a person. If this is an all day, outdoor party, I would be surprised to see the beer last. College age kids can put down a case easily in a day.

at my college teh local grocery store would provide garbage cans along with the keg and tap to be returned at teh end of the weekend. makes things very simple. 2 kegs with 15 dudes over a weekend will be tough. good luck!
