>>11126236It is a coping mechanism but not a very healthy one... it's maybe for the best if you try find something else to take your mind off of whatever it is. You tried talking to professionals? I used to know multiple alcoholics who started off in a similar way, drinking a little alone and they ended up dropping dead as a result of their favourite poison, one from withdrawal and another from health issues caused by it. So don't let it get too extreme for you as well. It's never too late to get things in order!
Don't let the drink consume your life.
