I don't think booze mixes well with electronic music at all actually. I can
usually tell what drugs someone is on at a party just from looking, and
people who are a bit drunk just like they're stumbling about with no plan.
They might feel more with it but actually their reactions and everything are
way off. People who have smoked a lot of pot often wind up dancing with
themselves, eg getting terribly interested in their own hand movements and
the like. E-tards are trying to impress everyone else with their cool moves
and show how sensual they are. Speed/coke heads look all twitchy and seem to
feel that it's terribly important they keep up the pace. Acidheads are
trying to maintain a grip on reality and simultanesouly express the great
truth that the music has just revealed to them. Sober folks are either
trying to disco-dance and getting confused or are just standing around
nodding their heads at how cool it is, or shaking them at how weird it is.
Of course these are the extreme (and not entirely serious) examples, and
most people find somewhere in between where they are comfortable and in
touch with a group vibe. Seriously though, I do think that booze and E tend
to make people feel like they're having a wonderful time but not lose
perspective on themselves (eg keeping out of other people's space etc.) and
afterwards they remember they had fun but it's all a bit of a blur. The body
load of this combined with a night of dancing is also fairly severe.
