Why do you get drunk faster when you laugh out loud?

During a nice party last weekend I noticed (again) that I get drunk faster when the atmosphere is right and especially when I laugh out loud a lot. With an equal amount of alcohol and a quiet conversation I get drunk much less, if at all. How come?

This seems more like a subjective sensation to me.
