[quote=Anonymous]As an immigrant, I find that very confusing. Is there some US historical explanation? I partied in Europe and alcohol was not a big thing at all when we were teens. I am not saying some teens didn't drink, but there was no sneaking alcohol to supervised parties that I ever recall. Times have changed in my country too today, it is not the same at all. When you were a teen did you do this too? There are so many times this has happened to friends, even to me, adults are there, no alcohol in the house, checking bags, you organize a great party, you hire a police officer and they know this and still bring it. What I don't understand is, why? I have heard from parents who organize parties, that just in case, they order Uber for all the teens going home. Does that mean that these parents know kids are drinking, even allow it? Party could be great, there is food, soda, everything, music, and why not have a fun time without risking being caught, being kicked out? I am not willing to risk going to prison to be a "cool" parent. I am of a mind that kids like/ needs parties so they don't go nuts when in college, to learn how to have fun, to not be treated as toddlers at all times. But, they just don't know how to handle clean, nice fun. There are always a few of these kid who just can't resist, and ruin it by getting everybody kicked out. I must be an idiot who never did things like that and I just don't see the need for it, if teens already have permission to have a party, if you do everything you can do make it a nice, fun, safe party, why ruin it for kids who want clean fun?
