Everyone I grew up with was underage drinking none of these things you've listed happened to anyone I know. Regulating parties might be one way to lessen the chances. But I'm not sure that price is worth it.

No sexual assaults? I think the people you know are very lucky, or you don't know the people you know as well as you think you do.

In the US, something like 1 in 6 women have been a victim of sexual assault and only about 1 in 5 of those report the assault. It’s very likely that if you were a regular attendee of parties among teenagers where people were drinking heavily then someone was sexually assaulted. You can think nothing bad happened to anyone, but it’s just unlikely.

And what “price” are you talking about exactly?

These are on-campus parties. Underage college drinking is still a big thing. Title is clickbait.

But gen Z (which I'm part of) has lost out on a lot of other fun things and turned antisocial on average for other reasons, some of them having to do with safety obsession.
