Does drinking really help with emotional pain?

Nope. You're correct it makes things worse. I would suggest weed instead 😉

Alcohol’s a depressant, so no. Plus the pain’s always gonna be there when you “get back.”

Short term - Yes, Long term - makes things worse. At least that's been my experience.

Its a temporary fix.. then it gets worse

No it helps nothing.

Gaming does if you can get really engrossed in the story or game itself.

Also emotional pain or stress can totally kill your interest as well, so- weeping on the floor is an option too.

Not really just for a little while not long term and usually the pain is worse after you get sober

doesn't help me

Only temporarily

It does not help.

not really

no..

no

na

No because the pain comes back

Only in the short-term by masking the feelings. It's a [b]depressant[/b], so it definitely makes things worse because of the subsequent crash.
