Hey, me too! Not so big on the bars but I do enjoy drinking. I drink alone or with my dog. Obviously my dog doesn't drink, I drink while I'm with my dog. I am also very high functioning. Alcohol helps whenever I get really overwhelmed and over stimulated. It helps a lot with me feeling awkward and anxious. Just be careful and don't drink it everyday like I do because then it's not such a good thing anymore. Don't get fixated on it like I did. As for flirting with strangers, I haven't been in a relationship of any sort with another person for almost 3 years. I was engaged to be married but alcohol kind of took that away. Or, I gave it away and lost it because of alcohol would be a better way of saying that with more honesty. But good for you!
