Why do people seem unable to comprehend just enjoying being around friends?
Drinking, in particular, is a proven way to relieve anxiety around strangers. So, when you’re at a party with people you don’t know, and you don’t want to feel nervous about it, you drink a beer or do a shot or whatever. Being in a crowded room, talking to people you don’t know, maybe even singing and dancing with them all come more easily after that. Liquor is often described as a “social lubricant” for this reason.
Harder drugs can be even more potent.
The sex kinda follows logically from there. Especially when it’s a room full of young, good looking, horny people.

There’s a certain type who thinks it’s a big adult flex to act exhausted by work, being annoyed with their family, and getting drunk to drown their self-inflicted sorrows. They’ve always been pathetic. I think (hope) it’s a dinosaur that’s slowly going extinct.
