There’s a easy rule. Allow ~ 45 min per beer and think how long the meeting will last. Most will actually not drink that much, but it’s good to have spare ones.
Do Americans really drink that slowly?
I'd say 2-3 per hour to begin with, but probably slow down around hour 6. For a weekend? At least 24, and probably want a bit of variety of styles in there too.
It's an average. For anyone sipping 1 beer an hour, other people will get through at least 2 or 3.
And with the light beers most of them drink they might as well be drinking water at that rate
We really got the range here, so a "beer drinker" and a "beer drinker" are the same when it's a 3.5%abv vs 14%abv. Not to mention non-alchohalic that's becoming more common
45 minutes??? Is this some rest-of-the-world thing I’m too Balkan to understand?
Well, I don’t know about Balkans, but at least for me, a half-liter beer of any kind takes 30–45 minutes. Stouts and porters are too thick to drink faster, ales too bitter etc. A light lager may be, but why bother?
45 minutes per beer? You won't be able to play Wizard Staff at that rate.
