#3 is a really bad suggestion given the rest of the list. If you're going to drink underage, or perhaps engage in other illegal behavior, keeping a photographic record of it to post on the internet is not a good idea. In fact, its a bloody terrible one that bites many people in the ass.

^In chemistry, an alcohol is any organic compound in which a hydroxyl group (-OH) is bound to a carbon atom of an alkyl or substituted alkyl group. I don't know why people would want alcohols at their parties. Methanol can cause blindness or even death.

If you're referencing Facebook, gprime, it's easy enough to change your privacy settings so that admins at your school can't go clicking through your photos. That said, I always detagged mine until I was 21 just in case.

Hey venkat, you're not a science major by any chance, are you?

Well yes, there are privacy settings. But I'm certain that facebook, like any other site, has security flaws that can be maliciously exploited. And just look at who wants to get some snooping done there too:

Are you saying that college and workplace administrators would try and exploit security flaws just to look at pictures tagged of you? Something about having bigger fish to fry... or something.

diesel...i agree. unless it's a "party" for 5, a 30-pack will last like 30 minutes. Woooohooooo!!!

Seriously. If you're going to have any sort of decent size party, you'll need any of these. Or all if you want a huge bash.

Kegs. Yes, plural.
Several 30-packs. You'd be amazed how many cans you can toss into a bathtub of ice. Tubs hold a LOT of beer
Mixers. People love their margaritas, rum and cokes, screwdrivers, etc.
A large container of Jungle Juice.
Wine coolers, Mike's Hard, Bacardi Raz, Smirnoff Twist type drinks for your lady guests. Not all girls want to drink cheap beer all night. They may be considered "B***h beers" and a lot of guys won't touch them, but it'll go over well with the girls.

If I'm forgetting something, I'm sure others will fill in.
