  1. no it doesnt stop depression,it just blocks it out short term, best thing for depression is to keep busy, to much time on your hands makes you think to much, think about why your depressed and change things,not easy but life is to short to be down, so be happy


  2. It only makes it worst

  3. Drinking just makes it worse.  It's not a permanent fix.

    It's like adding fuel to a fire

  4. NO

  5. Alcohol IS a depressant, so no, it will not stop depression.  It will make it worse.

  6. You get this high like you are on top of the world but then after you become sober it comes back.  It is really bad you will become an alcoholic like I did.  Please don't try.

  7. For some, as long as they keep on drinking...  But when they sober up, the problems are worse than ever.  Alcohol is actually a depressant.


  8. Heh, I wish that was the case.  The bottle of vodka next to me would solve all my f*cking problems.  Get real.

  9. no it just puts off reality for a while when youre drunk. and then you come down to earth when youre all sober! ouchhh it'll make you more depressed in the end. just like drugs!  

  10. alcohol is a temporary solution to depression, once the effects wear off, your back to your same old low.

  11. from my experiences, it could help at that point,,, but when you are done drinking and you wake up the next day you can start feeling depresion once again... but if you have the money to drink your *** off daily go for it

    !!!

  12. Oh God no. Alcohol is used as an excuse to make people feel better about themselves being an alcoholic. I drink occasionally. And I love it. But I don't make it a habit. I don't sit there and drink my *** off because "I

    'm depressed". Everyone is depressed, that doesn't mean we all should be alcohol abusers.

    No offense, I was brought up around a lot of alcholics, because they were "depressed". Yeah right.


  13. yes

  14. no.  

  15. No.  Drinking makes depression worse.  

  16. It really did help me alot. but in turn, it lead to my near death with an overdose.  

  17. no, alcohol actually increases whatever emotion you are feeling

    like at a party you get more hyper

    you will get more depressed!

  18. To tell you from experience it only helps for a short amount of time.

    But once you start drinking you will want to do it all the time. So don't start.

  19. I am a CCMA

    My grandmother did that and became nothing more but an angry depressed drunk

    NO booze just burries all of you emotions

    DO NOT DO IT

  20. big nooooooooooooooooooo its will lead you to even more depression!

  21. i dought it, prob make it worse

  22. Alcohol doesn't stop depression it just numbs the sad feelings and it can become a very dangerous crutch as it is easy to slip into a pattern of drinking to escape and become numb. A lot of people who become alcoholics started drinking to block things out and numb certain feelings so it is a very slippery dangerous slope. Xx

  23. no just while hes drunk hes not thinking about whats going on hes not really thinking about anything so he just drinks and drinks until he dies.

  24. No, no, a thousand times no

  25. u need help boy
