I drink occasionally at family functions, cookouts and stuff, but I really enjoy drinking when I go to parties where I don't know a lot of people. Being around people I don't know really increases my anxiety, and drinking helps me "open up". It relaxes me and makes it easier for me to talk to people I don't know. Hopefully now that won't be as big of a deal, since the pdoc said my meds should reduce my anxiety, but I don't know yet. Have to wait and see.
