When the boys & I get together for a little wing ding at someones house we always have a designated driver/shooter. Everyone else puts the gun up for the night, and plans on spending it at whomevers house we're at. I generally won't drink with people don't know well. The crowd I run with are all gun enthusiasts, so this is our solution when we want to get a little loose(more than a couple of beers). I know it sounds funny but it makes sense if you really give it some thought. (All of us agree that guns and alcohol don't mix, right?)
There have been a couple of occasions when an uninvited individual tried to discuss personal issues with a member of our group during a get-together. It's always nice to have one stone sober person to handle this type of situation. It's never turned into calling the cops, but if it did, I believe that it would be a good idea to have the sober guy there.
