What exactly is it about drinking that brings people together? All it takes is one drink, and you could befriend any person in the entire room. You don't even have to be drunk, you don't even really have to be tipsy, just a drink and everything that normally races through your head in a new or scary situation just melts away.
"Won't I seem stupid? I'm not pretty enough to talk to that guy. She definitely won't like me. I can't sing on stage, I probably picked a stupid song. They'll laugh at me. I won't be able to hit the notes, the music is too loud..."
None of that matters. And suddenly this person is introducing themself TO you, and not the other way around. And then you're introducing your friend to their friend, and at the end of the night everybody knows everybody, and it becomes one giant personal party, in everyone's honour. All because of a drink.
What an exceptionally new learning experience. Just another page in the story, I suppose.
