    I’ve seen this asked a few times over the years, here or back on Reddit maybe.

    Yes. Yes we do. But it’s mostly like high school or college parties. Kids who don’t have a lot of money and are going to make a mess. Sometimes even adults if it’s like a large outdoor barbecue kind of thing. Or around water or a pool where you don’t want glass.

    You usually wouldn’t do this for a more formal or “classy” type of occasion. Though it does happen. Some might see it as tacky in that context.

      I’ve seen them at “classy” parties, such as for Christmas or new years, when there’s a lot of people expected, because you can write your name on them with a sharpie and prevent a million abandoned drinks from accumulating everywhere.

      But usually I’d agree, I associate them with college dorm parties and house parties for teens-20-somethings, who don’t want to deal with the mess and/or may not own a sufficient number of glasses for all the guests.
