Social Anxiety is a bit of an extreme. Some people just aren't chatty. I'm not naturally. Especially if I know nothing about people. I just don't do chit chat or small talk. I'm an introvert and that's just part of the personality. It's not that *I* can't do it. I just don't really enjoy it and it's not something that I would naturally gravitate to.
Many introverts are the same way and booze is in fact a social prep for a lot of us. It lowers inhibitions a bit and lets the mouth run faster than the brain. One or two drinks socially is perfectly fine, if not even beneficial. Alcohol in moderation is fine and socializing is definitely good for body and mind.
Going out at night is definitely rough on a lot of introverted personalities, especially if you've had a busy day. You used up your social battery dealing with people all day and you are running on empty. Going out just zaps you even further. A couple drinks sort of puts you into extended battery mode.
