If Howard doesn't do that, Raj would had never started drinking and they would had never realized that he can talk to women under the influence

It's just a placebo effect as proven later on in the show.

It’s one of those things that no matter how many times you hear it, it’s still funny. That’s why comedies require so many takes to get a scene shot. Another example was in Seinfeld when Elaine and Frank Costanza were Getty ready to throw down; the outtakes showed how many times they broke out laughing from the sheer hilarity of the scene.
