Dude this **** has been going on in my old hometown since I was a sophomore in high school like 6 years ago. I'm glad it's caught on but the way some of my friends would say it just had me ******* rolling.
ITs most likely a pre-drinks. Where you drink with your mates before you go out so you get into a good fun mood and so you dont have to spend so much money at bars and clubs to get drunk. You start the night out tipsy. A really good pre-drinks can raise spirits so high that even what would normally be a lame night out can be amazing. Nearly always standard protocol in the UK. Dont know about other countries.
It could also be a pre-party drinking session where you invite your friends over before any guests arrive so there is no awkwardness of being stuck in a group of 3-4 people as everyone arrives.
In Spain we call it botellón (literally "big bottle" for some reason). It's usually done in parks and **** , and In college people do it in their flats. Recent laws have made it harder to drink like that in public though.
But It doesn't have to be a sausage fest either. If you bring some girls for your mates its easier to get laid, since you'd be getting to know each other before going out.
I grew up far from civilization, where "parties" was with the people you were with every day (not that you liked them but because there were no others) sitting around a table smoking and dranking until they were so drunk that they fell under table.

I've done both. Both made me feel loopy, only differences I could see was I could walk better while high, I was more silly than violent like, not legitimately violent but you know. , and I was hungry. *doubleshrugs*
**** , I had a big paragraph typed and the captcha machine was giving me **** so I rage quit my previous comment.
I'll summarize: physically I agree with you. I drink beer now instead of lighting up because its cheaper and easier and does the same basic function of helping me relax. To me it definitely feels similar. Mentally though, I've never gone temporarily loopy from drinking but I have from herb. **** is strong these days and if you read a lot of fringe stuff it'll **** your head up for a bit. Probably explains my complete apathy toward the future and indifference to the impending apocalypse.
I've got a friend who starts seeing **** when she gets too high so she rarely touches the stuff, and before I'd met her I always thought that was ******** that people could trip that hard from weed. Everybody has a different intoxicated self and feels a different buzz from different strains.
