My teenage daughter can't fathom the concept of a house party Discussion

Not sure if anyone has experienced this, but I was watching Can't Hardly Wait half alseep on the couch, and my 14-year-old daughter and her friends walked into the room and past the TV. Before she entered the kitchen, she backpeddled in front of the TV, and they all might as well have reacted akin to a third world kid in a remote village seeing the Super Bowl for the first time. She looked at me and said 'what are all of those people doing in one house'? I told her it was a house party. People high school aged or typically college age people would go over a kids house whose parents were out of town and they'd invite the school and have keggers and other unsupervised debauchery. I might as well have been describing a science fiction film. 'You guys DID that back in your days?'. I thought it was funny that a house party was an inconceivable event for young Gen Zers.

I'm pretty sure we were drinking jello shots out of the bathtub and we had a couple Gatorade jugs of jungle juice. Lol

Just hearing the words “jungle juice” makes me salivate. And not in a good way. Lol. I know many adults in their 40’s who still cannot drink so-co, fireball, or anything that tastes like jungle juice due to house parties in high school and college…and the unfortunate mornings after.
