[quote=Anonymous]OP - The most important thing is to keep talking to your teen about your values and why it is important.  Secondly to be sure you are clear on why he or she should never stay I such a group setting.  The key is absolutely no drinking and driving and don't get in a car with one who has been.
Unfortunarely, there are always going to be examples to refer to.  Also keep pointing out how easily one could be caught up in a police raid on such a party even if not drinking.  Parents like you described want to be their teen's "best friends" and are idiots.
You also have to keep reenforcing that drinking and loss of control can lead one down so many slippery slopes in college.
In my opinion a drunk boy is just as vulnerable to false charges as a drunk girl, but often is the one accused
So you also have to keep up the conversation about healthy relationships and dangers of alcohol and drugs. Giving them a framework in high school will help them make better choices in college.  In high school always let them know you will pick them up even if they left in a car because any bad choice is not worth their life at their hand or that of a friend.
