well i think the polite thing to do is say hello to the first person you see then go straight for the food and alcohol.

No, that is why they are called SOCIAL events and not EATING events. If you need the strength to mingle, then bring a snack along and eat it in the car just prior to your arrival at the SOCIAL event.
If you find mingling with "phony ones" so enervating, why do you attend these events? Why waste your precious time?

To be honest, I'd like to head straight to the food...but I am very cautious. I just need to see someone going first then I'll follow suit. Nibbling my food is one way of keeping myself busy when I don't see anyone I recognise at social events. But then it all comes down to who is present at that event.

Sometimes because usually at any social event that's where most of the people gather and that situation usually leads to conversation with others at the event. Nothing wrong with that!

The polite thing to do is to first greet the host or guest of honor. Then you can head to the food.

I keep close to the food so in case I have nothing to say, I can look busy by stuffing my face.
I'm not really comfortable at big parties.

It is the polite thing to greet your host and or hostess first.If they wish you to meet some other guest the correct thing to do is chat with them for a few moments.Then you can go to the refreshments.

No, start the circuit of meeting people right away. Food is the last thing on my mind.

No, I don't. Sometimes though it is only because I don't want anyone to see me heading for the food first thing.
