      Alcohol is not a solution it’s a crutch, you’re not going to get better at social interaction by getting drunk. Yes it helps take the edge of but that edge will never stay full and when you go without alcohol you’re starting from scratch because all those other times you weren’t training your muscles but instead leaning on a crutch.

      What you suggest is a gateway to dependency

      See the problem with this is I currently can’t drink alcohol because of Wegovy.

      Not that it like will kill me, just that I have absolutely no idea how 1 drink will affect me. It’s like quantum boozing, I will not feel it at all or for about 15 minutes I’m going to be drunker than I ever remember.

        Booze will only ever be a bandaid and will not help you adjust via exposure therapy as was suggested above. You’re not making progress when you’re drunk so when you’re not you’re starting from scratch
