To be clear, I do think that drinking would've helped me to make more friends and meet more girls (some guys asked me, incredulously, how I would ever meet girls if not at a kegger). But I didn't think that it would help me to make friends with people who shared my worldview, or develop the kinds of relationships that I wanted.
