Fawn, i share your point of view.
I know some people become more talkative after drinking and it helps them to be more opened. Sometimes it is a good idea. But different people have a different response to alcohol. One my very good friend died because of drinking. Although alcohol helps to find new friends and helped to get married to some of my friends. But it is not for me. Unfortunately i haven't good response to one. I like new feelings, new sensations. Alcohol blocks their. I can see all colors of the world only when i'm sober.
I'm ready for all now but i want to become sensitive to another people again.
