I discovered alcohol made me pretty much feel the opposite and I could finally stop worrying about the real world and enjoy stuff like video games again. I could also express my intellect properly and people would genuinely tell me that I was more fun and interesting to talk to when drunk.
I'm 26 now, and its been almost 3 years that I get drunk every weekend while playing video games or doing sports. I'm starting to feel like its gonna cost me my health but I just can't get enough, I have too much fun and it made me a super productive software engineer who always work hard to reach the weekend asap.
Man if I could get the same high without the health issues, I'd unironically be happy doing this til the day I die.
