Alcohol is the devils piss.
It knocks down social barriers so your able to do things you may want to do whilst sober, but because when your sober you have morals and sence therefore you don't do/say stuff because you know ethically it isnt right for the time/place with certain people, So when your pissed, you dont make the right decisions for the right reasons. haha gibberish, makes sence in my head.
I used to drink for that very reason, I was too shy and lacked the confidence in my self, so the drink helped me lower my social barriers. meh, what a waste, I got dependant on it and had to drink before i spoke to new people :/
Now I have discovered that when you find someone special, you feel ultra comfortable with them anyway without having to be slaughtered.
totally missed the point on the topic, but i felt the need to chat shit for a while :)
fun and games over now, I shall retire to bed with a pint of ice cold filtered water

I like getting drunk.... getting wasted, no. I used to think it was cool when I was young, as "everybody" else did it. Got very drunk a few times, didn't really see the point - I can think of better ends to a night than passing out hugging a porcelain bowl whilst the room revolves around your head.
Drink is ok if used responsibly. I've seen it damage more than just physical things. And lets face it, anybody who has ever worked in a bar can tell you - to the sober, you just look like a complete anchor

Thanks Em Jay, been tough but well worth it. Just puts a whole new slant on things when going out with me mates and I'm there chugging a coke or summat and they're all s**t-faced.
Can understand where you're coming from... I too used to have trouble getting myself across when meeting new people and a few jars would calm the nerves but I let it get too much.
Used to work as a civil servant (boo) and at that time I was out in the local area every night and in Leeds/Wakefield at weekends and it didn't go down too well with my bosses me staying out all night and turning up for work well hung over.
Got to a stage where I'd go to a pub just so I didn't have to sit at home alone after work... not good!
Anyway's all I can say to the rest of you is don't let alcohol get the better of you.
