Uhh...I've known someone who used alcohol to ease their social anxiety. It turned into a real alcohol problem, where he *had* to get drunk every time he was around people. People notice. They can tell that you're *too* outgoing, acting like a dumbass, smell like alcohol and making bad jokes. Yeah, maybe to *you*, you're a real comedian but to all the other sober people, you're not that amusing.
Sorry to sound harsh. But it's never good to use mind-altering substances as a crutch for every-day activities.
