"Set and setting" [0] is a widely known phrase, in those scenes. The phrase attempts to catchily summarise the vital prerequisites, in any substance-taking situation - and this applies to alcohol too, as one of the potentially hardest drugs - of a suitable mindset, and a suitable (location, social, safe, fun, ...) setting. And when you think about it, the general approach could apply beyond this context, to many things. If you get your mind happily aligned, and are going into a positive situation you enjoy, then that's a pretty large bias toward success! Drug or otherwise.
