Magic: The Gathering.

[Unless]

It's more like I have a single friend, and we don't meet up that often unfortunately. I'm sure it'd be fun to play inebriated, and I'm sure it'd be fun to play in larger groups as opposed to just 1v1 all the time. If I had more local friends into the game and also more money, I'm sure I'd love to make some sort of Proliferating Group Hug thing. Oh well.

you could always just look up your local games store (assuming you're near one). they probably host Friday Night Magic sessions where anyone can pay a fee and join in on the fun times. lots of people play drafts and EDH during FNM.

Unfortunately I've moved away from my old place which had a hobby store of that sort, in favour of some place cheaper and have only subsequently gotten back into Magic in any real sense. I do know of a few local people that have said that they at least used to play, which became apparent when I introduced card sleeves for standard playing cards to protect from damage during drinking games; also because I have a box covered in stickers in which I sometimes carry things I don't want loose in my bag, and at a glance it all blends in pretty well with the Magic and Magic accessories℠.
Though we tend to only all meet up in the one apartment which is owned by friends which don't play, and it would be weird to play there. I'm also happy enough with the dynamic at the moment and don't want to rock the boat.

I'll just settle for playing Standard matches at prerelease events for the foreseeable future I guess.

yeah, i think if you have a playgroup that does 60 card formats, the deck construction part is more rewarding

however, i think edh gameplay is really fun and enjoyable. it's really nice with a few drinks, and multiplayer is complex with diplomacy and betrayals
