Drinking for introverted and extroverted people is an entirely different process. People with anxiety disorders tend to drink alone exclusively, using it to dull anxiety and depression. Extroverts use it socially, and to make casual sex easier, like college kids or frat boys. They very rarely drink alone, because it's seen as a "loser" thing to do. Benzo addiction and dependency is also extremely common among people with anxiety or social disorders.

Does it count as benzo abuse if I have a prescription for them but instead of taking them daily like I'm supposed to I take a larger dose when I feel like it?

The stuff is expensive, and it is hard enough for the necessities to go around (food, electricity, internet, rent etc) as it is, and still, be able to afford some kind of desired merchendise sometimes in between the months.

They also interfere with pretty much any kind of hobby I have left.
You can't play games properly for shit while drunk/high, nor can you write a single line of code without multiple errors. Even reading becomes a hassle when, given one wants to actually follow the text in any meaningful manner.

So it's costly, counterproductive in regards to whatever hobbies/things left to do I have left.
This alone is enough for me to wonder why I would ever waste my time/effort/savings on something like that. But I guess my reasoning isn't of the ordinary.

What's happening here is benzo addiction, even if you (or your bros) have prescriptions for them. Your (or your bros) addiction is what's causing your anxiety, and the reason you (or your bros) have to take so much. What you need to do is go to a detox clinic and have them give you chlordiazepoxide (benzo with longest half-life) and use it to slowly detox yourself (or suggest it to your bros) from the benzos. If the doctor decides he doesn't want to prescribe them anymore, you guys are in for a world of hurt. Months of withdrawals punctuated by almost constant panic attacks and sometimes even grand mal seizures.
