As a straight edge elitism I can confirm that nothing is better while you are drunk.
That would mean you tried everything at the various levels of being drunk. That is quite the body of research, it also runs counter to my, admittedly poorly sampled in light of that, experience. If nothing else pointing and laughing at drunk people gets quite hard to do if there are no drunk people around.
I am a miserable/cheap enough bastard to not bother drinking most of the time, it does not mean things are not made more fun with the occasional bit of social grease though.
