Answer 1

Prepare the house Preparing the house is something which can save you time and money. It cuts down on theft, damage to property and unwanted guests (police and campus officials).

All rooms which are not party space should have pad locks installed, this includes the "DJ Booth" if you are using a room for that purpose. This especially references bedrooms and bathrooms which you do not want guests using. These keys should be kept on your person for the duration of the party. DO NOT give special treatment to any guest (ie: to use the extra bathroom because the line is too long), you will regret it. If guests nag too much for access to the rooms, give the keys to a neighbor or trusted friend who is not attending your party.

Anything which you would mind having stolen, broken, or destroyed should be moved into a locked room. Anything which someone could injure themselves on, or use as a weapon, should also be moved.

Make the most of your space by removing any junk that has accumulated in your house and basement. Do a very thorough cleaning. If a body could fit there, move the item, or throw it out.

Rearrange furniture, etc. You want to maximize flow, so there are minimal bottle necks in the house.

Steps which could be slippery when covered in beer should have traction tape put on them to prevent any injuries.

Ideally the flooring for your party space will be cement, tile, or older hardwood (to be stained the beer color of your choice). If you are stuck with wall-to-wall carpet, and hope to get your security deposit returned, you should cover it with two layers of plastic tarp and then a few planks of particle board and a old couch or two to weigh it down. Any mobile carpet should be rolled up against a wall.

All windows which can be seen from the street should have thick drapes, or be covered in black garbage bags. You should ensure that your house looks completely pitch black, and sounds the same. Under no condition should these windows ever be open during a party no matter what temperature the house is. Put locks on them too, if necessary. Police should notice nothing, even if neighbors complain. Eventually the police may stop coming because they think the neighbors are making fake complaints. They will be confused as to which house the call was made about. Ninety percent of the time they will leave, unless you give them cause to stay. They may pass by as many as three times, they may do "surveillance" at the end of the street, they may be in an unmarked car. At this point, you are on lock down. Turn the music down, and lock the front door. No one goes out, or comes in. Send a scout out the back door to wander around the block to see if they've really left.

All doorways exposed to the street should also have a curtain installed within 3 feet of the door itself. This assures that even if the door is open, police will not be able to see alcohol containers.

If you live in an area where the police are clever and actually care about this kind of thing (after all, they are worried about real crimes) buy a police radio. Some of the more expensive models will actually tell you how far away the transmissions are coming from.

Watch for unmarked cars at the end of streets and undercover officers. If you need to, check for university IDs at the door so that you know who is coming in.

If you have Central Air Conditioning, consider yourself lucky. Otherwise, select a single window which is the most adequate to pump air into the house. Ideally this will be a small basement window. Buy a fan appropriate for your needs and hang it in front of the window. If the window is street side, cover it, or paint it black. Place cheaper fans in the house to circulate the air from the window. Consider buying an industrial fan or air conditioner if you still have problems.

You should drop the temperature in your venue two hours before the party is scheduled to begin. If it is winter, the furnace should be shut off (you still might require fans or air conditioning).

Make sure there is adequate toilet paper (multiple rolls). Make sure you have your TP in some sort of dispenser, or it will simply fall in the muck and get ruined. If you do not have a sink, provide handy wipes. Remove from the bathroom everything which isn't needed.

You should have several forty gallon garbage cans in various places throughout the venue. They should be double bagged with commercial fifty gallon bags. Ash trays are another great addition.

Add lighting and decorations. Street signs, fire hydrants, alcohol paraphernalia, can collections, pools full of jello, pool tables, beer pong tables, beer funnels, disco dance floors, disco balls, stripper poles,Christmas lights, couches, bars, dance cages, black lights, posters, whatever floats your boat.

Wire the house for sound. Ideally you want to place speakers in a fashion which creates an area for people to dance while immersed in sound but so that the sound has to travel a distance, through something, or bounce off of something before it travels out the front of the house to the street. Rear of the house, in the basement, is best. If you do this right, you shouldn't be able to hear any sound on the street. You don't need anything extremely expensive or elaborate. A good 5.1 surround sound system will work just fine. Mount the speakers to the walls or ceilings. Wire the inputs to a computer or even an iPod in a bedroom (it's important that guests not be able to access it). Drunk people don't really care about superb sound quality. In fact, its better to have a sound system that can only get so loud, this is in case someone gets access to the volume controls. It's a proven fact that the louder the music is, the more people drink. This is because loud music is extremely uncomfortable and people have to do something to deaden the pain. Since you are not charging for individual drinks, obscenely loud music would be counter-productive to your goals.

If you've opted for cans, yYou need to prepare the refrigerator and bar area. A few hours prior to your party, clear as much of the refrigerator and freezer (turn the temperature down) as possible, fill it full of beer cans and pile the cases in the backyard, or dumpster. Don't put more beer in the refrigerator then you will use, however(as the beer is consumed, you'll be putting more beer in anyway). Block off the kitchen by putting wooden crates in the doorway and make a makeshift bar. For some reason drunk people congregate in kitchens, so it's imperative that you block it off from guests.

Get a cash box and change. Stash it in a bedroom or locked closet, or safe. This is where the cash for the next party will end up.

Alternative drink preparation. Buy an athletic drink cooler. You should prepare some sort of mixed drink a few hours before the party starts. Usually lemonade and vodka works well, and is cheap enough. Grain alcohol will probably give you more for your buck if you can get hold of it. In any case, make sure you have enough cups on hand. Stash the mixed drinks with the beer behind the bar so you can still cut people off when things begin to get out of control.

Offer non-alcoholic beverages. Leave an offering of bottled beverages or pitchers of fruit juice to help hydrate your guests. It can prevent people from getting sick in your house and also makes youngsters not old enough to drink feel welcome.

Pick your music. Creating a play list is a job in its own regard. Unless you are throwing a theme party, you will most likely be playing lots of rap, hip hop and possibly some eighties music. If you don't normally listen to this sort of thing all the time, you can look at billboard.com for the most popular songs. It's also important to keep your play list fresh. Live performances can be a good change of pace, but there are trade-offs, since they tend to take up a lot of space and tend to be louder. In any case, never let a DJ or band take control over you at your party.

Determine the type of beer you want and the container type.

Kegs

Advantages:

A lot of beer.

Ability to do the infamous keg stand.

Sometimes cheaper then alternatives.

Cuts down on theft of beer. Minimal supervision.

Disadvantages:

Tagged and traceable by police in many jurisdictions, rendering this option useless in those cases.

People tend to over pump, a lot of beer is lost in foam (unless managed properly).

Tap Problems, rental fees, etc.

Extremely heavy.

Damages the house.

Cannot be stored for long periods of time at room temperature.

Requires much ice to keep cold.

Requires cups.

Empty kegs are often prone to theft, as many opportunistic individuals will steal them for their deposit value (often upwards of $30).

Cans

Advantages:

Doesn't require you to buy cups.

Numerous and in wide variety.

Warm cans can be stored at room temperature for long periods of time.

The cheapest beers are sold in cans.

You can cut off people who do not know their limit, far more easily.

Safe, in terms of roofies, etc.

Disadvantages:

Creates an obscene amount of trash.

Leaves you open to theft of beer (unless managed properly).

Requires a bar and bar tenders to manage properly.

Requires ice, or refrigerator rotation.

Bottles can be used as weapons and therefore should not be purchased at all (except for a private stash of good beer).

Unless your party has over two hundred guests, cans are usually the way to go. The biggest advantage to cans over kegs is the fact that leftover cans can be kept for your next party, a half empty keg, cannot (unless you have a keggerator). You do not have to bother predicting how many people will come. You can never buy too many cans, since they will just be used some other time if you have left overs. In addition, if you can find a way to get "broken cases," directly from a brewery, you will be paying less per case.
