I presume you have never had drinks before.
I believe I don't need drinks to make me feel anything better ........... anything that corrupts your thinking ability is the last thing that I would need. Partying is for making new friends, getting together. A party to get drunk to make an already nice thing or feeling to look or feel more nicer well stupidity of highest ranks.
Getting drunk is not partying but an easy escape from reality. Cowards would do that. @adil_minhas
