Is there a linguistic name for this returning to the pronunciation or accent of your youth when drinking or around others with the same/similar accent?

I am also from Long Island, and have largely moderated my pronunciation to match a more standard pronunciation, but when I interact with natives of north Jersey, parts of NYC and Long Island, I somehow start adopting the accent a bit, unconsciously.

This is a form of [code switching.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code-switching)

It’s most commonly found with African Americans and minority/immigrant communities, since in professional or unknown settings people will use more standard registers of English.

I don’t know the name for the transition, but you are talking about what are called registers in linguistics. (I do the same thing when back with old friends)

Also see code-switching. Which is something I have been very amused to find myself doing after moving back home to New Orleans - there's several distinct flavors of English in that city, and watching them pop out of my mouth after twenty five years speaking Newscaster English is fun.
