I agree overall it's great advice.
But it's also very boring.
And maybe not everyone needs it, but letting go, breaking your own & other moral rules, at times can be a very benificial thing.

I think SO many people overlook this very fact. Most people don't need alcohol to have a good time however it's called a "social lubricant" for a reason.
Sometimes people just need a tiny push to become less self conscious or less introverted. Life is short. You can spend years trying to be healthy and perfect but you need to ask yourself whether you're happy while doing that. If the answer is "Yes" then great. If it's "No" then you should reevaluate your path.
That is a spectacularly shitty long term strategy, since an alcohol habit actually increases your general anxiety levels when sober. You shouldn't need to have beer to be comfortable talking to people.
There is a time for facing your demons, and there is a time for simply enjoying.
