Each party held by an Australian follows a basic set of rules:
1. If you throw a party, under no circumstances are you to introduce the guests to each other. The idea is to let people wander aimlessly, feeling left out.
2. You must never have enough food to go around.
3. If you are a guest and brought along a bottle of wine, make sure that you point out what a fine label it is but do NOT share it with anyone.
4. You must remember that men and women are two totally unique species and thus cannot intermix. Men must congregate around a keg of beer or barbeque at one side of the party and women must hover together and make salads in the kitchen.
5. Make sure you leave the party so drunk that you can't remember where you parked the car. Walk around town singing songs from beer commercials.
Does this set of rules apply to Australian parties of today (or is this just my 17 year old self having delusional thoughts again)?

lol, that's an awesome guide!!
I do think so many people have no idea when hosting. Our biggest thing is food. I am married to a Polynesian and he stresses so bad when we entertain that there wont be enough food. We always end up with enough leftovers to feed us for a week! lol.
WTF?! What kind of parties were you attending in your adolescence? I'm ROFL here. This is gold.
Your 17yp self clearly needed a curfew. Beer songs? x
Hmmm. And I clearly need to work on my typing - meant 17yo...of course.
