This is explicitly contrary to her explicit encouragement that I go to parties more when I was young. I didn't really go out very often at all.
Yes. No. As far as I can recall/tell, it was a simple precaution against getting drugged or poisoned or just getting sick from drinking from a glass that a prankster or otherwise ill-intentioned stranger might have put something in, or even from just getting sick from drinking from a glass that a stranger has also drank from or spit in or whatever.
I don't understand the relevance / what you mean. If you mean if there were no harmful drugs or other bad stuff that could be invisibly inserted in drinks, then not particularly (the above reasons would still be valid, but not really worth having such a strong admonition for).
But this feels like asking "If physics never allowed car accidents, would the always-wear-a-seatbelt rule in cars be a good idea?"
