There are two situations here:
1. People who consume alcohol/drugs because it helps them get over approach anxiety, and be generally more sociable.
2. People who do this because they are addicted druggies/feels internally.
For people in the first category, that is exactly why they do it. It helps them get over their inhibitions about approaching strangers, and just getting loose.
Umm... some of us just drink because we like the taste of certain drinks. Or just enjoy the feeling of being buzzed.
Though sometimes I will drink in order to be more sociable, I'm trying to get to that point without alcohol...
