It's probably more difficult for kids to throw house parties nowadays when their parents are out of town due to how accessible security cameras are.

Seems like just about everyone has a video doorbell and/or other cameras monitoring their property. Took it for granted in my youth without even knowing it.

Bigger problem is mfs just spend the weekend braindead doomscrolling the internet and don't even want to have parties.
Oh. Hi. That's me, right now.
Good for them.
Staying safe indoors instead of dying prematurely from alcohol poisoning and stupidity.
Ah yes, having a party = poisoning yourself with alcohol to the point of dying. We end up killing at least 1 ever year at my birthday party but that's the price I'm willing to pay for a good rager.

I’ll try but my parents are pretty dead at this point.
Wow you sure seem fun to be around.
Why not have weed at the party instead?
I guess cause when I was growing up nobody ever wanted to share and it was expensive. I wonder if that’s changed?
Do stupid stuff is part of growing up, don't miss that
If you don't want to drink, that's totally fine and entirely your choice. It's not for everyone and some people simply should not consume alcohol (eg, those with a history of substance abuse problems or anger issues).
But having fun at parties with alcohol is a pretty typical part of growing up. There's a middle ground between "staying home alone" vs "dying prematurely". You can drink enough to have fun without it being at risk of killing you. It's not healthy to bing drink, to be clear, but personally, I found it worth it every now and then to have some good times with friends. Just be mindful of your limits, hangout with people you trust, and always have a sober ride home.
