Drink Station

Rather than having drinks and food on the same table, set up a drink station separately, especially if you're offering mixed drinks. The drink table typically sees a lot of traffic, so it could inadvertently create long lines and backups if you don't keep the two separate. Put drinks like fresh lemonade and iced tea on a table, and keep things like beer, soda, and ice in a cooler close by.
