Today, I got promoted to a management position. After work, I went for a drink with my co-manager and a few of our colleagues, where they discussed their plans to take Ecstasy before/during our work Christmas party. Wonderful. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I didn't get promoted, but the guy who showed up to work drunk a few weeks ago did. FML
Today, it was the first day after my promotion. Everyone, including myself, was shocked that I was promoted so quickly. I figured it was because of all the hard work and overtime I'd put in. However, my coworkers figure I'm just sleeping with the boss, and constantly glare and snicker behind my back. FML
Today, the only colleague I dislike was promoted to be my manager. FML
Today, my coworker and I agreed to come clean and tell our fellow employees that we have been secretly dating for a while. Before we could, I received a promotion. I'm now his boss. FML
Today, I was promoted. I got advice throughout the day from all of management on what I'm supposed to do first thing everyday. Not one was the same as the other. FML
Today, I got married and I'd invited everyone from work including my boss. His way of congratulating me was to mention that I'm out of a job. He said it was a good time to do it because he thought I would be too happy or too drunk to care. FML
Today, I got drunk enough to do cartwheels at a company party. In a dress. I work in HR, can’t land a cartwheel, or handle my alcohol. FML
Today, my friends took me out to the most expensive restaurant in town to celebrate my promotion, we ordered everything with expensive drinks too. They 'took a smoke break' and left me with the bill. FML
Today, after my work's Christmas party, everyone got so drunk that I had to help one of my only sober co-workers take everyone home and clean up vomit. FML
Today, my boss got a promotion and I got laid off. FML

Not much you can do about that - reporting them based on a conversation won't achieve anything and you'll just be hated.

You should talk them out of it! Say it's bad for you! Never take drugs!

Get them to do something dumb under the influence and you'll get another promotion when they're fired.

I hope drugs isn't the idea of your promotion treat.

The best advice I've ever heard was to remember that a work drinks function is WORK. Limit yourself to two alcoholic drinks total, one over the first ninety minutes, one only thereafter. If they take ecstasy, great. Be right among them while they realise how intensely they love you. Don't show your disapproval. If they offer you one, thank them, put it in your pocket for later, then when not observed, throw it in the rubbish. Your professional behaviour IS observed.

This the best advice here by far. Hope OP saw this.

And what exactly is bad about this?

It's no worse than getting drunk, honestly. If nothing else, at least don't alienate them by being judgemental about it.

well you've been put into a tough spot. Do you keep quiet to try and make your job easier but possibly get in trouble for knowing that they were planning on doing drugs at a work function, or do you report them and make sure you keep your job but also make your job much harder if they dont get fired and hate you. Your going to have to decide which repercussions you would rather live with.

Just don't take any, if you think it's effecting their work and you can do a random drug test, recommend it to whoever is above you. Otherwise leave it as is. Taking drugs when not at work might not be something you agree with but if it doesn't affect you then let people do what they want to do.
