Always wanted to know if it's true what they say about alcohol calming the nerves. Any one find this?

[matt_32510]

I reckon it does, as it gives you more convidence.

[Jono]

Calms my nerves, haha. Could do with a lot more though normally...

[Serin]

Yes, alcohol has a 'socializing effect', though if you're extremely shy or you suffer from an anxiety disorder like social anxiety, I wouldn't advise consuming it as a means of making you feel gregarious.

It makes you less aprehensive. It doesn't make you any more happier or confident though. Thats purely psychosomatic.

it also makes you make a fool out of yourself, but it's worth it.

[Serin]

If you're looking for something to calm your nerves without having to resort to drink, you could try serotonin supplements - serotonin, allegedly, has a calming effect and you can buy them in health shops.

Failing that, you could pay a visit to your local GP who might be able to prescribe you something like beta-blockers, though they have side effects.

Oooh no, not the deadly comedown. Had that last Sunday after an intensive night out. My head felt like it was going to melt.
