forget business
be their friend
be honest
do what they do. ie; drink, hit the bar, hit the club, strip club, go go carting feel them out do something not about work. unless they want you to feel out their place of business. tricks don't work, at least not for me anyway

I try to be more genuine with my laughter nowadays, vespa, but it's a bit difficult when my boss laughs for a few seconds and then clearly expects me to laugh along with her. It's a very awkward situation.
Anyway, you're a free food and drink vulture, which many people are. It's cool, as long as you contribute once in a while. Or start some loud karaoke.

My professor always tells us that we should go to the sessions and speeches at uni if only for the fantastic wine, especially because we're all poor students.

If by schmoozing you mean graced with presence, then sure. No one likes a bullshit artist, might be cheap entertainment for some. But no one's gonna go to bed with an idiot.
