Do you ever get to bang the less attractive groupies that the band doesn't want or, are they reserved exclusively for the guitar tech guys?

Have you ever tried alcohol to relieve the mutism?

Im not asking because of the guy on the big bang theory, but because you said it was a type of anxiety. I have a friend who suffered from anxiety attacks & he used to "self medicate" with vodka when he would start to feel the anxiety attacks starting. He doesnt do it any more because the possibility of becoming an alcoholic didnt seem like a good trade off for avoiding the occasional anxiety attack, as unpleasant as they are, but i think it would be interesting to see if alcohol would "help" with a situation like yours. Though if you dont have much of a social life i dont know how you would have ever found out
