    As s/o who grew up in a household with a drunken and violent father: yeah right. Keep downplaying the dangers of alcoholism.

    There are other ways of coping with stress that do not involve such negative side effects. Sadly, drinking/ingesting toxins instead of dealing with what you experienced has become socially acceptable.

    You obviously need help or medical personnel would not prescribe medication.... kind of self explanatory.

    Sometimes that help comes via therapy, sometimes via medication, often a combination of both administered by professionals.
    That is not the same thing as grabbing a glas of Whisky for every problem you encounter and "self medicating" in an uncontrolled manner.
