I'm not uptight nor closed, but if you are and need alcohol to change you then why would you drink alcohol? The friends you make when you're open and loose will get used to your open and loose side, and you'll drink more and more just to 'socialize.' But that's not even socializing. When you socialize better when you're drunk, that's the type of person that SHOULDN'T drink.
And just 'drinking socially' when hanging out with friends, not necessarily to loosen up, which you shouldn't do per my statement above, then why not just grab a grape juice. That's drinking, and by your description it doesn't need to be alcohol, so go get your grape juice, or soda, or whatever.

And alcoholics, you just plain suck and need help.

God you are closeminded as shit. I can hang out with friends and be sober, but I enjoy the feeling that alcohol provides.

[James S]

Well then cool for you. I just hope you're twenty-one.

Grape juice isn't a drug and so doesn't have the same effect on people. Some people like teh feel of that effect.

Moose, you are quite apparently missing the point. If you're just hanging out with friends and want to do something fun, you could drink. The point, then, of drinking is to get drunk. Therefore, grape juice would NOT do the trick. It's a fun thing to do. It's recreation. The feeling is fun. You act like once you drink once, you'll be forever hooked and have a big scary demon follow you around wherever you go. You can drink occasionally, not make a big deal about it, and have fun. That doesn't make you a worse person.
