Tips please

I’m invited to a small get together at a friend’s place ’cause he’s home alone and we’re all gonna have a party. Suggest me what should i do in order to get a better high. All we have is whiskey and Marlboro reds. Like is there a diff way to consume it? Is there something that needs to be done pre/post drinking to achieve a good high?

Also i wanna ask, I’ve read that having electrolytes before the party avoids dehydration. Is it true? If yes how to consume it and what if i comsume it post party?

(This is my 3rd time drinking and i didn’t feel a good high for the previous 2 times, even though i had like 300-350 ml of vodka each time) Please give me an elaborate answer if possible
