If you don't drink, I really don't care for your input.

is it normal that when I go to be social I usually wait till I have a bit of a buzz going until I'll try to approach girls or go on the dance floor etc? I notice I am a lot more charming when I've had a few drinks and am a lot more confident. Usually when I go out to a club or a bar, I'll spot a girl I am interested in and will hold off on approaching her until I am at least a little intoxicated. IIN? I'm 22 btw.

    They don't call it "Liquid Courage" for nothing. Aha.

    Some people are simply not social butterflies and need a little push.
    Liquor, my friend, is your push. ;)

    All those people commenting sound like non drinkers. Alot of people feel more confident when they drink, its normal

    Well, since alcohol lowers your inhibitions, or in other words, it takes the fear away, so it's normal. I'm 35 and I've been like that since my 20's, but now I'm older and wiser and can understand what's happening better from experience. I like to do karoake too, but hell I need at least 3 drinks first.. lol.. but I'd just say keep an eye if alcohol is causing you to get into fights or causes you to be irresponsible.. etc

    I'm the same way too actually. I feel like I'm capable of doing anything and saying anything when I'm under the influence of alcohol. It gives you more guts.

    I'm the same way. When I'm at parties I feel pressured cause everyone else is drinking.

    The bad thing is that while you think you are more "cool" when having a buzz other people may view you as being annoying.

      I don't think so. I can hold my liquor pretty well. I've had a lot of people tell me that they can't even tell when I am drunk. It might just be a mental thing where I have more confidence because I know I'm under the influence.
