Drinking, in particular, is a proven way to relieve anxiety around strangers. So, when you're at a party with people you don't know

Except we're not talking about meeting strangers, we're talking about spending time with friends.

And while it can be fun to drink with friends, not being able to enjoy being around them while sober points to a lot of different problems.

Have you never been to a house party before? Friends and friends of friends and dates of friends of friends and occasionally neighbors who just wander in off the street.

not being able to enjoy being around them while sober

Imagine being 16 and going to a party, excited to try beer for the first time, and getting lectured like you're a 40 year old alcoholic.
