Hmm, I often find the opposite to be true. When you're completely sober 
among rather drunk people, they keep finding things funny that are not, and 
they're rarely sensitive to the fact that you're not finding it as fun as 
they are. It can be rather lonely. It depends a lot on the specific 
situation though, but generally, it feels better to be drunk together with 
them, and thus be able to join in on the fun to a higher degree.

You don't need to stay sober for that, as long as you don't get so drunk 
that
a) you do blackmailable things yourself,
and b) you get a black-out so you can't remember what others did.
