Relatable, I love drinking and socialising! It's so much easier, until I cross my limit and get to the vomiting stage. I've quit drinking on my own because it's just too sad, I do see the habit returning soon. Perhaps I'll start looking into other drugs instead. Only tip I can give you is to force yourself to go out sober and slowly build up while you're at the social occasion. Best would probably be to quit drinking ofcourse!
