>>Oh, good to know. Well I realized I was using alcohol at parties for anxiety. Luckily I realized this and sought treatment before it became a pattern. Schools should teach kids more about drinking for anxiety as an early sign of alcoholism. They beat around the bush by saying things like "some people drink just to feel comfortable at parties." But they never use the term anxiety, which means kids don't think it's a condition that is treatable, so they never treat it. Or they do, but they see Dr. Jack Daniels. He's okay, though- but he only sees patients on the weekends, unless they're got more severe cases...
