Parties with alcohol - at what age do they start?

My year 8 has been invited to her first “house party”. There is a DJ and no parents, although the parents will be next door so can come round immediately if there are problems and can see who is arriving etc.

I’m wondering what the chances are of kids sneaking alcohol in. Is 12/13 too young for me to need to worry about that? When were your kids first offered alcohol at a party and how old were they when they first got drunk?

Year 8 round here. Caribbean Twist was quite popular!

Should add that I've yet to see 17yo dd drunk and she's been going to "gatherings" and house parties since year 8. Just because there's alcohol available doesn't mean they'll drink it!
