In some contexts, drinking a little can help with having a better time around people

I don’t mean you should get drunk, but alcool can actually help you loosen a bit, specially if you’re introverted, don’t know what to do or can’t get in the right mood.

It’s ok to take a break from your own mind from time to time.
Obviously do it responsibly, you know, don’t get super drunk, don’t drive etc.
