Teenage parties in the UK are synonymous with cans of lager / 'stubbies' or bottled alco-pops, there was always a lack of ice & glasses. I have no idea why disposable cups weren't around - I'd probably still smile & say 'ooh, a red cup' if I was given a drink in one. Being a young (ish) adult parties are much more civilised - if your hosts drink wine you'll probably get a wine glass. Steins are more a Central European thing & event related (like Octoberfest). Generally the number of glasses friends have has increased (to say a set of highballs), the cheaper lagers have been replaced by better bottled beer but the lack of ice explicably remains. Nowadays I usually take ice & a small kit for Mojitos :)
