It's true that Jouno could have left, but he would have had to find somewhere else to go or deal with his parents at home. Everywhere seemed as insufferable as here, and at least here, there were drinks. He shouts after Dazai for him to shut up, waiting (albeit impatiently) for the other to return.
He busies himself listening to a girl sobbing in the corner. At least that is delightful, and were Dazai not back quickly with his drinks, Jouno probably would have gone over and found a way to rub in whatever was wrong with her. Dazai returns, though, so he takes his drink and sips it carefully, not wanting to spill any on his expensive shirt.
Like Dazai, he has a fairly high tolerance for alcohol -- they'd both have to, considering how often they wound up like this -- but he, too, has been drinking for most of the evening, so he's slightly fuzzier with his senses than he would be normally.
"Let's go," he says once his drink is at a suitable level that he thinks he won't spill it. Then he adds, "If you let me trip over anything tonight, I will actually kill you," as he reaches for Dazai's arm to keep his balance as he walks.
