I talked to my sister this week. My mom only bought 4 bottles of champagne, so my sister sent her husband to get more before the shower. He bought another 4. They went through all 8. She thinks if there had been a few more bottles, they would have used them all.
It really depends on the crowd. When mom and I threw my sister's small at-home bridal shower I asked the groom if the women in his family drinkers were. He assured me they were not rather indignantly. We bought quite a bit because dad's family does day-drink. Plus mom picked up a case of beer for dad and a couple double bottles for her bar to replenish because we were at the liquor store.
The day of the shower, it all went except the whiskey; maybe they didn't find it. My dad's alcoholic sister (who I hope had some help) polished off a case of Buds. And when the punch was gone, the in-laws added vodka to the fruit salad and drank that.
