Zombie hookers and really old blow.
“Do you like to party?”
“No, I prefer to just take drugs and have sex with prostitutes.”
I was highly perplexed by this very question when I was asked it back in the early 90’s. I was hitchhiking (yeah, I know) and the guy who picked me up asked me if I party. I didn’t know what he meant, but figured it probably wasn’t something I wanted to do, so I played dumb. “Oh, I like to go to parties! Like for birthdays? And stuff? My friend Adrienne throws the awesomest parties, with really cool music and stuff.”
He dropped the question real quick.
“Party” drugs are stimulants. Nobody shoots up heroin and then parties (usually, if its just heroin on its own). So when that question is asked, its primarily asking if you do coke, crack or meth. And yeah, weed use is kinda presumed in those types of situations. Or at least unimportant) .
When I was a teenager it meant “do you do drugs” but primarily referred to weed. I never hear the question these days. Now people just ask if you want to smoke pot. I’m not really exposed to the hard drugs scene. Meth isn’t big in DC, and I avoid crackheads and junkies.
It’s about sex (with a side possibility of drugs) if the target is somebody frequently hit on, and just drugs if the target isn’t frequently hit on. So, based on the OP’s phrasing, it’s about drugs, as I am not hit on.
Yep, weed***** is so accepted anymore, that people just ask, “hey, ya wanna burn one?” or “come outside, I got a new vape” or my favorite “<pantomimes hitting a j>”.
*****my nephew gave me shit the other day for calling it “weed”. According to him we should do away with “weed” and all its negative connotations. He wants me to say “cannabis”.
Fucking youth.
Tell him if he’s that concerned about the plant’s feelings, he should stop setting it on fire.
Actually, he doesn’t set it on fire. He vapes it.

Regardless of what it means, I’ll now have this song stuck on repeat on my BrainTube for the next three days.
This is mostly right, though you forgot about E, which is definitely a party drug. I personally have never heard anyone describe crack as a party drug, but I’ll admit that someone somewhere probably has. Every time I’ve heard it, it usually referred to coke, occasionally speed or E. (Of course, I sold coke so I probably had some bias on that one.)
As for the heroin, have you heard of speedballs? That is a practice where people mix heroin and cocaine and inject them together before they party. Assuming it doesn’t kill you (and it’s killed a lot of famous people) it’s a hell of a rush.
This is a better answer. However, yes, I have heard of speedballs. That’s why I made a point to refer to heroin if it’s just heroin on its own. But yes, E is definitely a party drug. But crack is definitely one too. Parties can be short-lived haha. Or needed to be re-infused with party inspiration relatively often. With crack, the party ends when the money (or ability to access crack with that money) ends.
Context is EVERYTHING on this one.
If said by a girl leaning in your car window at night, she’s a hooker.
If said by a dude, in a low voice, at a party…he has Coke
If I’m waiting for a ride out in public, dude bums a smoke, then asks if I party, he had a Doobie to smoke or sell.
I’m sure in some other context it means goin to the church social.
Set and setting.
