I partied in college and after college in bars and stuff. But even then, I was drinking to ease social anxiety and to allow me to loosen up to socialize. Im an introvert mostly, so alcohol took away my social awkwardness and gave me an excuse for acting foolishly. As I got older, I was a stay at home lone drinker.
But as Ive shared on here, Ive always had my demons. I drank mostly to squelsh those, even at an early age. It never worked.
