I grew up in the US, and the only person I know who didn't drink as a 15 year old is a 33 year old who still doesn't drink. Lol.

Most people I knew started in college. 15 is a bit young. Only knew a handful of partiers who drank in high school.

As a non-American, every single American teenage movie I've ever watched tells me this is untrue.

I mean getting alcohol for an underage party is the whole plot of Superbad.

As an American emigrant: the red cups are real, but not limited to house parties; alcohol is a lot less accessible, so the party would be more likely to have four different kinds of liqueur from peoples parents or three handles of paint cleaner; getting the cops called on an underage party is serious. Like, potentially lose your job and home serious, even if you were gone for the weekend.
