Hugging and play fighting, sure, but can’t say I’ve snuggled with the lads (or girl friends either for that matter) - feels more intimate, like something you’d do with a loved one (or a pet).
Drunk me might lean a bit more towards leaning or pushing against the lads, but that’s always playful and jokesy rather than sincere as your post implies
I find it really interesting, the juxtaposition between pets and humans, sometimes even at the same events. Awkward huggers will get down there and really be physically affectionate with pets and competent at it, too. It always warms my heart, but also makes me wish society was just a bit more relaxed sometimes. Pets can be the instigators of play in a great way, but it also makes me wonder if people are missing opportunities to form stronger connections to friends and family members.
