Start small by keeping the conversation light and focus on finding topics of interest that you both have in common, like hobbies, recent films or music. Avoid making jokes that may be embarrassing or taking a lot of risks when it comes to commentary, and keep some sort of filter with what you're saying. Be sure to pay attention to your alcohol intake and don't let yourself get too overwhelmed either - this is an important first step towards engaging in casual conversations without fear!

It is always important to respect the other person in a casual conversation. Here are some tips on how to have a casual conversation while intoxicated:
- Listen carefully and respond appropriately. 
- Speak slowly and quietly, even if your words are slurred. 
- Stay aware of body language, tone, pitch and pace of your speech as well as others'.  
- Consider physical distance from others or take time away when needed.
