Reading a popular comment here, I was wondering:
What's the deal with all the red cups we see at parties in the US? Is it just something we only find in movies or what?
I don't see the point. If you bring your own beer, why would you pour it in a cup instead of drinking it from the bottle? Or is this some kind of "someone else is treating everyone to beer...for some reason" thing? :P

I think it's for when they get kegs, or mixing.

Cheap, disposable, easy to clean up after a party, no deal if they break, and each horizontal line roughly equates to a serving of hard liquor, wine, or beer

in my experience as an American, red cups are generally used for drinking games (such as beer pong) at parties. Or mixed drinks. But that's just in my neck of the woods.

I think it's so they don't have to worry about getting permission or paying to use different brands of alcohol in their movies. Plus you can't see through the red cups so you wouldn't have to fill them all up.

Copyright, I never thought of that but it's gotta be that.

Also, they're ridiculously cheap to buy over there. My friend went and got 40 for like 2 bucks

kegs OR hard alcohol mixed with pop

if your drinking from a keg, which doesnt happen all of the time at parties, there are red solo cups. Why they are always red I have no idea. Same goes for jungle juice or other drinks that are shared by everyone at the party. Usually everyone just brings their own alcohol to parties.
