This normally peaks just before we eat, but even when others are drinking only moderately I find it hard to relax and truly enjoy myself in these environments. I think that if it wasn't for my wife's insistence I would have become quite a recluse by now!!! It's something that I'm hoping may improve over time...
I totally agree Amp and don't enjoy these situations at all anymore. It is still a little awkward, and I don't socialize nearly as much as I used too. I am really ok with that , though it is tiring when everyone at the table keeps asking if I need a drink. NO , I really don't.
