People definitly drink for reasons of social anxiety, that was me!
I honestly don't go to a lot of social events like I used to, but most of them were drunk fests anyway. If you think about it, most events, especially holiday parties, are a reason to get blasted.
Being in business, I always felt obligated to go to everything, and with social anxiety that adds a lot of pressure.
Now I just go to the events that are really necessary and don't worry about feeling obligated as much.
What's amazing is going to parties and hearing the respect and awe that people have for not drinking, comments like "how can you come to these funtions and not drink?"
It's also funny to watch people, especially around the holidays embarassing themselves!
