this last time i went out i got really drunk and got very communicative and approached some sets, had a good time then went home(no anxiety). In the morning i thought abut what i did last night and i got the approach anxiety WHILE BEING AT HOME. btw is getting drunk better for picking up?

Drunkness is not good for game, cause you will miss vital social signals from the room/people around you

Dont use alcohol as a crutch. For some its amazing what alcohol can do but for others it can leave you more anxious. I have a friend who used to be really shy. He got drunk a couple of times and was this really cool sociable guy. Hes also been getting girls like crazy. His game has went up since. So if you sarge with alcohol just beware of the consequences.

hymm getting drunk means that you will miss the subtle hints that females use in their language. i remember once when i was hammered and somehow was still upright enough to pull, this girl basically offered to come back with me but as i was drunk i missed the question!
woke up next morning, was like "fuck" but you've got to laugh.
so no, large quantities of alcahol does not help your game, but a few man....
everything in moderation (except herpes)

Agree to the whole drunk thing. I can tell you from experience I have no game when I am drunk.

If you do drink, keep it to not more than one drink per hour and try to drink a non-alcoholic drink in between drinks.

If you are drinking rum/coke then in between drinks, have just a coke. If you are drinking white wine, then have some gingerale in between wine glasses, etc.

Its ok to have a drink or two to relax but when you start missing subtle hints, its time to ease back on the alcohol.

The last thing you need is to f-close on a girl who has some STD. Be smart about it. Everyone here is giving you good advice.

Best,
