Alcohol can be a good antidepressant I remember two year ago the only thing that saved my ass...

It really isn't. Trust me, I know. It's actuallly the worst possible antidepressant and a horrible drug with low redeeming qualities. Doesn't lead to good long term REM sleep either. A moderate amount may be good for a bit of stress and that is it. Beyond that, there are much better things.

Alcohol is a wonder drug, done in moderation, of course.

I believe there is a limit. Find that limit, and alcohol takes the edge off. Problem is, some go too far.

It’s not a good remedy long-term. It’s not.

{@mellie] if you felt it worked in the short term all well and good but alcohol is not or never the real answer too problems as all it does is gives short term cure for issues. when you sober up sadly your problems still exist

Alcohol never helped me sleep and if I did fall asleep I'd wake up with a hangover.
But as you say , it does ease up depression

Nihiless

Alcohol is in fact a depressant, though it doesn't seem like it initially. What alcohol does do is affect the central nervous system, causing a sedative effect and over a longer period, eventually causes brain damage and your organs will shut down.
