At some point in your life, you will either attend a house party or host one. Personally, attending one is the better option, just think - no stress, no responsibility, zero care for anything, and no lecture in the morning (if you live with your ‘rents). BONUS!
If you’re young, and possibly old too… everyone knows it is mandatory to have pre drinks, for numerous amounts of reasons - it could be you’re on a strict budget and getting pissed before you go out will still ensure a good time, or maybe you like to get a group of mates together and play all those crazy drinking games,
