I am an extreme introvert with a crippling fear of crowded places and dancing.
Gf wants me to go to a festival with her on sunday.
I never drink but I want to loosen up. Would it be a terrible idea to get a buzz before going or could things go horribly wrong?
I wouldn't drink if she didn't know you were going to do it. That would be awkward. Otherwise, whatever. On the other hand, you don't want to get dependent on alcohol to endure social situations.
This is entirely anecdotal, but alcohol barely helps me in social situations anyway

Alcohol helps. Get tipsy but not drunk. It will relax you and you wont freak out so much.
i would 100% have a can or two before, especially if you're not really into drinking.
I'm from the UK lived in america always found myself at shit parties and also found drinking was defo the way to endure and at least be some what sociable

An entire can or two? Wouldn't that be too much?
And how can I disguise alcohol breath?

don't drink more than a beer or two, you'd be wasting money paying festival prices anyway
bro you'll defo be fine, maybe just the one if you wanna be cautious. it will defo loosen you up and make you more sociable and talkative thats what alcohol has been known for, for centuries now

This.
If you're not interested in dancing there isn't much you can do to make yourself like it. Just go to the festival, tap your foot, whatever. Let your girlfriend have fun dancing and don't stress about it.
Just be present at the festival. No one's focused on you. Enjoy the music and company of your gf. Really just go with it. I had a similar mindset when I first started going to shows. If the music is groovy you'll naturally sway with it. Even if it's just gentle head movement.

I am in the same boat buddy. She wsnts to bring me to one of her weird festivals.
Get a buzz only if you are capable of controlling your consumption. You don't want to be/get shitfaced.
Also, in the future try Phenibut, it helps me whenever I have to be in crowded places. But be careful with it, never use it more than 1-2 times a week, as your body gets resistant to it very fast, and large doses will give you the something similar to a soul crushing hangover.
You can buy it as a supplement, so completely legal
