I love getting drunk, it´s so great. There´s a whole fluidity to the body and mind. All worries, points of views, external influences, everything go to hell. It´s a great state of mind. I recommend it to anyone who wants some self discovery.
I´ve found out(it´s pretty common, but i´m much naive) that supermarket alcohol is quite cheap, so, me and friends are going to start to do this. Vodka with lemon coke with a halls drop is great.

yo.
hey Allan,
Nice to see someone on the same page as me. I drink a ton but right now i am trying to cut back cause i tried to get help for depression and anxiety and the doctor said that in order to get to the core of the problem, i would have to cut back or stop completely. Alcohol use can eventually cause social anxiety and depression, which is what probably happended in my case.

I developed SA during puberty, at the same time doing conventional and experimental drugs, which masked my anxiety a couple of years but at the same time set me back as many (or more). Only when i stopped using drugs because they didnt work anymore i discovered the joys of alcohol, with which i hadnt bothered cause everybody uses that, right?
Not a very sophisticated drug, but great fun.
The thing is, drinking a glass just wont cut it (for me), i need to get drunk to have any anti-SA effects - if i drink a glass at, for instance a family-get-together, and then sober up and later get another glass and sober up, that gives me 100% chance to freak out.
So my advice is, at family meetings = hit the bottle as hard as u can :twisted:

I've always joked about either taking a shot of vodka or smoking some weed to calm my nerves. But have done neither since they are both just temporary releases. the feelings would just come back, along with some paranoia.
Until I realized that my nerves and anxiety was caused by myself. That I was my own worst enemy. From there things have gotten better.

Didn't had a good laugh in a long time. Thx Horatio :wink: I used to self medicate myself a lot too, but as all others drank only beer cause it's cheap i'd had to put up with more than 2 liters to feel an anti SA effect.
I also used to fill myself up with about 300 ml of plum brandy before going out to do stuff. That always got me instantly, a real SP killer :twisted:
Now I'm on meds, and damn, xanax and zoloft doesn't like alcohol :evil:

If i am drinking to relax at a social event !!!!
If I know that I am going to a social event - I always drink and I always over do it . If you saw me at a bar there is 9 chances out of 10 that I am loaded drunk and you would never guess that I am socially anxious ! But I am getting to the point that I don't want to drink any more , cause I always feel really stupid the next day after I realize what kind of an ass I was . I do tend to get somewhat depressed for the next few days after a weekend of binge drinking ..... I love having a few beers but I just can't stop once I get started . My wife really loves it when I drink LOL .
I can't really handle it if I am not drunk at a social event !!!!

Everytime I go to socialize and theres alcohol.I get drunk really fast so I can cope for the rest of the night feeling sooooooo relaxed! I realized I had to get help with this anxiety or I would become an alcoholic or a drug addict
because that is how bad I feel and how bad it's gotten for me.It wasn't easy seeing a doctor.I'm on paxil now and i just had the dosage increased and I'll see how that goes.I still drink when i socialize.I don't think I will ever get over this anxiety.
