what is a kickback party

A kickback party is a small, casual party held in a persons home rather than a venue. It is a low-key event that focuses on having a relaxed time with close friends. The activities at a kickback party can vary, but they will all be laid-back. Kickbacks typically include close friends only, not friends of friends or unknown guests. The term "kickback" is derived from the phrase "kickback and relax". Although a kickback is generally smaller and more casual than an official party, it is still an occasion for alcohol, drugs, and the resulting risky behaviors their use can lead to.
