As depicted in the film, a "house party" is typically a raucous party thrown at the host's house, instead of at a nightclub or other such venue. House parties, often thrown by teenagers and college students, typically involve loud music and a wealth of alcohol and possibly other drugs, such as marijuana, Ecstasy, or cocaine. However, it should be noted that in the House Party film, there was no drug use, and alcohol use was discouraged. A party is a social gathering intended primarily for celebration and recreation. ...
