I think the party is exactly the kind of atmosphere where it could most logically be brought up. We already learn a few things about him - his non-tolerance for alcohol, for instance, and more relevantly, that a casual hook-up out of the blue is exactly something he might've been up for (and has been in the past) if not for his current preoccupations. It's almost there. Almost.
