You're speaking to an ex-alcoholic ^^ used to use it a social crutch, because I never really felt well in social situations. It became so bad that all my money went into bar hopping, and you're definitely right: it was to "treat my anxiety".
Anxiety really is one of the greatest issues of our times, isn't it?
It always has been. I honestly think everyone (outside actual psychopaths) suffers from it to some degree at some point in their lives.
I, like you, used it to manage my own. I couldn't be social without drinking...a lot. So glad those days a long gone.
