This is why humans confuse me. If I'm having a drink I'm at home, not out with a bunch of random people where a bunch of weird crap can happen while I am less than optimally prepared to respond to it. How does anyone think that's a good idea? I don't know, I've never understood that. Never mind the fact that everyone has to drive home.
Then just go but don't drink. Or drink just a little.
Most people enjoy getting drunk exactly because weird shit can happen, a little excitement wouldn't kill you. Mind you, I don't think it's necessary to get drunk, but if you know your limits you can have a good time.
My mum is 56. She has never tried a cigarette in her life. I just made her vape some chocolate eliquid but she had no clue how to do it. I tried to guide her but she did it all wrong and coughed a lot, lol. I think it was the first time I though my mum looked kawaii.
