Alcoholism Sign #5: Drinking to Fit In
Alcohol helps us to lose our inhibitions and come out of our shell. This can be very useful in social settings as it encourages us to be more outgoing and have more fun. Indeed, many people will go out together with the intention of having a drink. This is OK, but things may be wrong if you feel you must have a drink in social situations.
Many people will use alcohol to try and cover up insecurities and other issues. This is potentially dangerous as it can lead to a system of long-term abuse. It can also increase the amount of alcohol that you consume, particularly for people that socialize a lot.
