The fact that you dont drink like this everynight yet is good, but you have to find another interst on weekends because alcohol is not for you.
If you dont give it up chances are as you get older you will be drinking more frequently.
Your problem is once you start drinking you dont stop until you really cant function. You dont say, ok i had a beer with dinner, but i dont want anymore cause i got something to take care of.
Binge alcoholics have way more problems in life than people who drink daily but keep from getting too intoxicated.
And you need to find some other way to control your social anxiety, talk to a doctor about this or see a counselor or therapist. Stop worrying what others think or if they will judge you. Be yourself and you'll meet the poeple in life that are indicated for you.
I know its easier said than done, and my personality is the opposite - i am extremely social and can walk up to starngers and talk to anyone about anything, im almost never embarrased and i carry on quite a bit.
But i have a very good friend that is like you. He was/is a binge drinker but now he drinks amost every night and he recently screwed up with a girl that was intrested in him. He rarely leaves the house. He drinks before going out because he is too shy, but then he is to intoxicated to really present himself well to a female and ends up being the drunk guy that everyone feels bad for or worries about. When we go out with a group of friends we seceretly ask who is going to babysit or take care of him. He is a great guy, but he just wont stop until he is drunk and you have to take him home.
