Actually, I don't drink anymore either, so at social gatherings/parties I generally would take a low to moderate dose of something instead. My favorite candidates are AMT, LSD, 5-MeO-MiPT, 2C-T-21, 2C-T-7, 2C-D, or low-dose DOC (can become very intense). Without fail, I notice that the energy/vibe coming from me due to my state of mind inevitably influences everyone I directly interact with. This is probably in large part because Im aware of it and try to maximize that interaction.
I must stress though that I would not ever want to take an ego-threatening dose in public.
