how to relax by drinking?

normally i’d search something like this myself but all the results are “how to relax withOUT turning to alcohol” and i want the opposite.

i’ve heard so much about people drinking to relax, and i was excited to have an easier way to unwind. i had only ever drunk with friends before and kind of gone overboard with it, but that wasn’t very relaxing.

i tried to drink, on my own, to relax, and it was just kind of nothing. i felt pretty much the same as always, just dizzier. my train of thought was unaffected, just trucking along, talking to myself same as ever, but it was just harder to see without things spinning a bit. by the time i stopped drinking, i had just wished i didn’t do it at all, because then the night would have been exactly the same, just without the dizziness.

so, how do i make being drunk relaxing? is my brain just not built for it? i understand it can be a vice, but really i don’t have ANY ways to unwind so i’d like to try to do this in moderation. advice is very much appreciated!
