lol I have witnessed these everywhere. They are not uncommon. I mean just go to a college campus on a friday or saturday night and walk around. Depends on which college but a lot have this type of thing often. Especially Greek Week, my god.
We threw parties like this back at my house during high school. Usually during the daytime instead of at night, but other than that, pretty similar. No crazy sex or alcohol, though, with most everyone being underage. But you don't really need that when you've got a pool, trampoline, soccer goal, tire swing, treehouse, speakers (and lax neighbors who don't mind the noise), and a bunch of soccer teammates/cast members/birthday guests/etc who know how to have a good time no matter where they are. However, I will admit that these parties probably aren't common everywhere. We lived in an area that was probably a bit more wealthy than average, and my family probably makes a little bit more than an average amount of money.
The craziest party I've ever been to was a two year old's birthday. There were balloons everywhere and I ate all the candy and took all the party favors and stickers and the next day I woke up in happiness instead of a bad hangover.
Dear poster,
I feel it my civil duty as an American to let you know that, yes. Every American has a party like this for their birthday. The unrealistic part in the movies is that the cops actually show up, or parents ground children. Usually when there is a party like this, the cops bring the booze and weed and help us citizens deep fry our Freedom as we fly our bald eagles and yell loud profanity, the whole time shooting into the sky (or a neighboring nation). MERICAAAAAAAA F#CK YEAH!!
Well, I once had a sleepover at my Mexican friend's house, we're both at least part Mexican, and some other girls of different ethnicities were there as well. The neighbors complained of the music being too loud and the cops came. Now Whenever I see that friend we say "It's only a true Mexican party if the cops come "
It depends on the age. Most high school drinking parties aren't really like this but college level gets closer. But movies are movies and nothing in life is like a movie unless it's a documentary.
I've been to a few. Here are some pieces of advice. Get an extra bathroom. Rope in your neighbor if you have to but it pays to have two potties. There is nothing worse then having only 1 potty and not enough toilet paper. Hide your money & jewelry & valuables in the trunk of your car and lock it. It won't grow legs. Require guests to bring 1 drink. The parties aren't as much fun if there isn't enough liquor. Have extra blankets & sheets out. All of them. Remember to roll the idiots on their sides and put the blanket over them. Have a place to put keys & cell phones up. Nothing like drunk drivers or foolish face book posts to make that party go wrong. Play good music in one room but not so loud you blow your speakers or you can't hear yourself think. Have board/card games. There is nothing like having drunk people playing Disney Princess Monopoly. It is the bomb. Seriously. Have an out door or semi-outdoor smoking area with good sturdy butt cans. see pt 2
Part 2. Glow sticks in liquor bottles. Invite musicians. Guitar & ukulele people really rock. Have an open fire pit & lots of seating. Encourage sinking folk & rock songs. Have lots of trash cans around. Have lots of snack food. Buy lots and lots of baby oil. Baby oil rules, ASK FIRST, then apply. Use baby oil for the naked twister & use the lawn slope for the "water" slide. Except don't use water. Have extra towels out though. Make sure your fire extinguisher is up to code. Before any fireworks or fire breathing or fire spinning or using fire, designate the sober fire marshal person with the extinguisher. Not everyone will get drunk or want to get drunk. Some are just fun enough to be around while drunk. Reward your sober DD with some kind of treat or something. And remember the big, giant dick. While the Man Rammer covered in chocolate gnocchi was fun, it kept melting. The inflatable Tiki Penis worked the best. Have a bucket of condoms but they can't use it on property.
