I am only 25 and stopped drinking when I was 22 because of anxiety. Drinking made my anxeity worse. It just wasn't worth feeling so horrible and anxious the next day. I still go out with family and friends, but I just choose not to drink. I still have fun because I know the next day I won't feel horrible. I know it is hard meeting new people, but you will only get better at it the more you practice. You don't need a drink, just be yourself and I am sure they will think you are great!!!
