Social Drinking
So i'm in my first year of college and there's this group that I may go out with on saturday. There will probably be drinking and i'm really interested in trying it because I've never drank a sip of alcohol in my life. So, I'm a little socially awkward and uptight in many situations and I really admire the people in this group and would love to become good friends with them. This isn't the reason why I'm doing it but will drinking "loosen me up" a little? Will it sort of rid me of some of the inner tension I have when socializing? I'm not planning to get blackout wasted, just a little buzzed. and please, answer the question honestly and try not to lecture. i really just want the honest truth.
Thanks so much

Yes, a drink may loosen you up a little.
But it's hard to know how it will effect you, how much alcohol will cause much effect, etc. It can help you relax a little, and it can help you relax so much you end up going to bed with someone you normally wouldn't eat lunch with.
Eat before going so you have food in your stomach.
Stick with one kind of alcohol. If you're drinking rum and coke, not a bad choice for a first timer, drink no other alcohol other than than rum.
For every drink, drink one non-alcoholic drink.
This will help you stay hydrated which goes a long way to avoiding a hang over and slowing
the pace of drinking and letting you feel how much a drink has effected you before you drink a second one.
If there's pressure to drink more than you'd like, leave.

You can drink a little bit but dont go get wasted. Nobody likes a waste case specially if your a girl. Just have a few drinks try not to drink on an empty stomach so eat before you drink. Do not mix you alcohol with other alcohol because you will get alcohol poising and that is bad. So just know your limits and dont keg sit.

There's a reason why alcohol is called "social lubricant"!
Having a little bit of alcohol tends to loosen inhibitions and make people more social. Having a lot of alcohol makes people act like idiots. As long as you stay within your limit, keep drinking water and wait in between drinks, you should be fine.
My friends and I have a saying: when you're drunk, everyone's your friend.
