How much does an open bar cost?

I know that I want to have an open bar because I do not want guests having to pay for drinks. But approximately how much can I expect this to cost?

We are expecting to have around 150 guests. How many drinks per person should we expect? I already know the price for each drink, so I guess the only problem I am having is estimating how many per person. I know not everyone will drink, but others will drink alot.

Any suggestions?

The average would be 3 to 4 drinks per person.
