no body would notice you weren't drinking.

but you might also not be the guy who gets out there and make any friends either that way. People go to parties and drink because it lowers their inhibitions making them more... social. Takes away that anxiety of being around a bunch of people you don't know.

 

Thats basically using alchol as a crutch for social anxiety though. My mom is more social and friendly then virtually anyone when drunk. So is my granmpa... on my dad's side. I'm sure that genetically I have the ability to deveop fantastic social skills, I just have to keep working on it. And I'm getting better, so I'm not too worried about not being able to talk. I'm concerned that people won't want to talk to me becuase I'm not drinking.

 

that shouldnt be a problem for you, some people will be drinking cause they dont have your confidence, so they more likely to be impresed that someone can talk to people that dont know easily, so you should be fine,  i doubt anyone would not talk to you because you dont drink
