Yes I do. And they don't think it is a health problem at all. Even working in tech in downtown SF, there would be happy hours all the time and free-flowing booze. I told myself I was a "social drinker" but found myself at 2-4 drinks every single workday. So Monday is a python meet-up with drinks. Tuesday is someone's birthday and also Taco Tuesday so we all go out for tacos and drinks. Wednesday is some alumni event downtown with drinks. Thursday is my non-work friends' "Thirsty Thursday" drinks. Friday is the unofficial company-sponsored happy hour where the managers bring out Whisky at 3-4pm.

All of a sudden, I was on the road to alcoholism, just by trying to fit in and be a little more extroverted. And the booze certainly helps someone who is anxious and introverted do exactly that.
