It’s slightly disappointing and amusing whenever I have to admit my Mormon upbringing was correct about something.
While acknowledging the many harms alcohol does, I hope we can find alternatives that fill the niche of social lubricant with fewer side effects & less abuse potential.
Looking at the crippling social anxiety rampant among those near my age (28) and younger, we need all the help we can get.
In that vein :p, from what I’ve read nitrous oxide is both completely legal and almost completely harmless as long as it’s mixed with oxygen so you don’t suffocate (and if used frequently make sure you don’t become deficient in vitamin B12).
I’m not sure if/how much it helps with social things as my last experience with it was a dental procedure when I was a kid.
