    I don’t really get the purpose unless everyone is having mixed drinks. Alcohol comes in a container already.

          It has a lot to do with the 21 drinking age. Since getting alcohol is difficult without a fake ID or someone to buy it for you, you’re dependent on what’s at the party. Can’t bring your own case of beer because you’re 19 without a fake.

          The host will get 1 or 2 kegs and make some jungle juice in a big cooler, again because they’re probably under 21 so it’s easier to buy only 2 types of alcohol

      unless everyone is having mixed drinks.

      it’s this one, and the “mixed drinks” is just jungle juice

      Imagine this but it’s just the Malibu, vodka, and pineapple juice.

          Like egg1918 said it’s mostly a drinking age thing. This stuff disappears outside of the high-school and early college scene.

          My social circle was more about going together to get 40s from 7/11 and smoking/drinking shit beer around a fire.
