If a New York State licensed Medical Physician gives me wrong advice that hurts me during a social gathering?

not in his/her office can I sue the physician for malpractice

If I have witnesses who saw the Doctor giving me the bad advice?

You can always sue. Whether nor not you would win the case depends on details you haven't provided. There are thousands of lawyers that specialize in medical malpractice lawsuits that would love to speak to you and won't charge you anything. They work on contingency for a percentage of what you get if they win the case for you.

No he gave advice in a personal setting not a professional setting. And you could have ignored his advice.

No, if there is no doctor-client relationship, and this information was not given as part of treatment, no liability.
