You can have fun and party without drinking. Not that alcohol can't be fun, but maybe people rely on it a bit too much to loosen things up.

I’ve recently discovered Boba tea as a fun drink to get with other people.

  Is it the ritual making it fun with other people? I think I'd prefer some black tea or coffee over boba

Not really... Of course you can, I do a lot of activities with which don't require alcohol to have fun with others, but there are some great activities which are fun with drugs and or alcohol. Dancing, karaoke, weddings, dinners... I'm happy about this study because I'm currently in a country where Marijuarna is illegal for recreational use, I hope this study helps change that. Edibles have to be more healthy than wine.

  I don't drink or consume any drug except caffeine, have been to all these things and had fun - sometimes more fun than the drinking participants. Alcohol is just a cheat code for lowering your inhibitions and taking yourself less seriously (because your self control is turned off). I can respect doing that, but it is not at all required to drink or partake drugs (which I'm not fundamentally averse to either, to each their own) to lower your inhibitions. It just might take therapy if for... reasons...you are particularly self conscious like me

    Curious how you know you had more fun than others?

      Because I chatted to them afterwards about how nice the evening was and got various degrees of surprise from some of them (going from "uncomfortable" to "boring"). In the end, of the vibes aren't yours, you'll probably not have a good time

People who don’t drink or otherwise risk-averse bland people aren’t fun.

  Equating non-drinkers with 'risk-averse bland people' is an attitude I mostly find among my friends with drinking problems.

  Idk, i think my idea to climb a small 5c with headlights at 2 am was pretty fun, but those pesky drunks were too afraid even after i installed the top rope. I though being drunk made you less scared, anecdotal evidence made me reconsider.
