Okay maybe not drunk. But I definitely think doing a few shots to get a good buzz going beforehand could be a good thing.
Nothing will help somebody get past social apprehension like a little alcohol. It raises the "who gives a ****" factor a few notches and is probably his best shot at suddenly seeing himself as witty and likeable. (Which is often a self-fulfilling prophecy.)
