Right/just before?
I had attended this big party, where I had been drinking heavily right/just before I found out that I was pregnant.
Is there one between right or just that is prefered more towards the other?
Should I include more commas?
Thank you.

I had attended this big party, (no comma) where I had been drinking heavily right/just before I found out that I was pregnant. I have no preference as to the words, but it seems very strange to connect a state of inebriation with the diagnosis of pregnancy. Usually this diagnosis is done with a pregnancy test at home or at the doctor's office, not at a drinking party.

0I suggest this.
I had attended this big party, (comma) where I had been drinking heavily, (comma) right/just before I found out that I was pregnant.
This makes the clause between the commas more parenthetical, less important.
right/just before - either is OK.
