Weird, but at all the parties I've ever gone to that have had booze and loud music, I've usually spent my time talking to people while I was doing fun things... and usually there has been cake as well. Could it be that talking to people' and 'doing fun things' are what parties are for in general, no matter what 'type' they are?

da

might be a sensory overload thing? I dislike loud music because I can't concentrate on my own thoughts, let alone on a conversation

My immediate social circle contains a Mormon who doesn't drink, two brothers who have the same weird food allergies that drastically restrict what types of alcohol they can safely consume (one of whom also has very peculiar tastes that further restrict what he will drink even when he can), two pregnant women who are off alcohol for the duration, and three people who are very finicky about beer, wine, and liquor (I fall into the last category). Our parties tend to run on caffeine rather than booze at the best of times; with both pregnancies and it being the Mormon's turn to host, our New Year's party was alcohol-free. We brought instruments and had a jam session in one room; the other room was watching '90s cartoons and making fun of them. While I missed having sparkling wine to toast in the new year with, the party was no less fun than usual. So - yeah, I think most parties are what you make of them.

No, I can pretty much guarantee that at least my cultural sphere (young adult/college student) a fair amount of parties are about booze. And sex, and music, and food, but mostly booze.

There are lots of other ways to socialize and lots of other kinds of parties. The social aspect is definitely important for some people but the actual social interactions can be kind of shallow, at least in my opinion.

Not to say that some people don't really enjoy that. It just isn't for me. I prefer to stay sober lol. And being around drunk people is...amusing at times, neutral at times, but I've also had some really bad experiences with that, so.
