I rely on alcohol to much in social situations, does anyone else suffer this problem?

That shows that you still.have some deep rooted insecurities.

I suggest slowly tapering off the booze and replacing the habit with lifting. The boost in Testosterone will make you more rust tolerant an inhibited. Plus you will keep away from whiskey dick and beer guts.

Lift and force yourself into social situations. Turn challenging yourself into an addiction.

Balancing your relationship to alcohol are two steps you need to take at the same time:

Learn to be more open, daring, loose, whatever you wanna call it when sober.
Control yourself better when drunk.

Not saying you have a problem controlling yourself when drunk, but usually it is like that with people who rely on alcohol. Following step 1 makes it easy to follow step 2, because when you let off steam and such while sober, you won't have too much pent up and a huge desire to get wasted.

But unless you have a problem with whiskey dick, why not use booze to get loose?

Everybody does, it's a big part of western culture in general. It gives you plausible deniability when you want to act like an animal for an evening. It allows people to release all their pent up energy is a less judgemental environment.

Alcohol is bullshit past a certain age if you’re not benefitting from it. You already see that it’s holding you back socially. So cut the umbilical cord now or later, or it will only hold you back from becoming the man you can be.

practice drunk, then for the final act do it sober. just pretend you’re drunk around friends, put on a mask
