In which way? I can see alcohol helping with anxiety, but what else does it do for you?

It just makes me forget all my shortcomings and anxiety. It makes me be able to hold a conversation and keep talking (albeit in a rambling way) instead of just being awkward and running through a script of questions and hoping the other person goes away. I also feel more engaged in the present.

I once knew of an Aspie who got drunk and ended up taking her clothes off in the middle of the street. Others laughed at her and video'd her. She was mortified when she found out the next day. That was enough to put me off getting drunk for life.

Yep, I've read a couple of books on autism & drinking, and it was called out that autistic people do not have the natural instinct to stop themselves at an earlier point. I'm staying put in the hotel room tonight. Not going to tempt myself.

I've never been drunk before. But I think a lot of NTs don't have that instinct either. My husband isn't an alcoholic but once he's had one or two beers he doesn't know when to stop.

I don't see the point of drinking unless you get drunk which was why I stopped :p
