I don't want to be a Judgey Judgerson but if this is why you're drinking, you probably have an unhealthy relationship with alcohol.
Don't get me wrong, there are friendships that rely far too much on being drunk, at the bar/pub/club, etc, etc which get boring as life trumps on, but relying on alcohol to camouflage life indicates you need bigger changes than alcohol cessation.
