When you drink, it appears that you do it to gain confidence, which is not a good thing because you're accepting that you don't have much confidence in the first place. Alcohol also messes with your emotions and it does not help you build better qualities. True character building only happens when you are sober. I've realized this recently, and now I'm holding back on any alcohol I have at parties or whenever I go approach a girl. Besides, you don't remember many things when you are drunk, so what if you found a better way to interact with girls, told an awesome story, but you can't remember because the alcohol has now made you forget... that really sucks.
PS: could you reply to my post too? I really need some advice
Completely agree - it's false confidence. Elguapo seems to worked out a good tactic though. I presented a paper once to a crowd of pretty serious dudes - had a shot of whiskey before I did that (no more than that) and it went breezy. Same with girls. The key is to reach the state when you don't need alcohol at all, however much it helps.
