What do you think of alcohol using it when socializing?

Im in 11th grade and i was on a classtrip few days ago. Everyday my classmates talked about what mix with what, what to drink for the day. Also they smoked all day for 3 days straight. They give their e-cigaretts and try it. Everyone smoked and drinked but my friends and me.

I was thinking about why people do it, try to be openminded to question it. 

I had this thought that u shouldnt base ur friendship on drugs, or on alcohol. U dont need drugs to be able to socialize.u need to develop to behave differently when socializing.  U know u shouldnt be that serious but i should be "stupid", playful and just speak. 

Ive never tried alcohol because why so?

According to many sources it has many cons.

It's kinda okay tbh. But don't do too much. Personally it helped me at least to relax during a social occasion.
