Plus I'm naturally very introverted and alcohol helps me open up to be more social and ease the anxiety, I think that's the biggest thing. using alcohol to allow myself to "open up socially" was one of the big appeals to me. like you, i am pretty introverted and have some mild anxiety (or at least, i used to). i find that caffeine can be a good substitute for booze WRT making me more social. if i have a good coffee buzz going on, i really like to talk and i'm far less shy. i'll brew myself a nice cup before heading out to a social function, or i'll order caffeine in some form when i get there and sip on that instead of a drink. i do a few other things to help mitigate the anxiety, which has basically subsided and i don't notice it anymore. --- Playing: Yakuza 5 Remaster I hope something good happens to you today ...
