My boomer mom when it comes to anxiety/depression: Back when we were young that wasn't even a thing!
Also my mom talking about alcoholism during that time: Oh yeah half my colleagues were alcoholics that never fully recovered from it but only 2 or 3 drank themselves to death.
I realize it’s just a joke, but from someone whose hangovers were so bad, I literally almost killed myself, I don’t recommend alcohol as medication. Fortunately I’m five years sober and been in therapy since my last drink, so there's that in case anyone needed to hear it

Glad I didn't embrace drink me more.

I mean, in a sense. Alcohol is an anxiety inducing medication... Unless you never stop drinking
Surpressing while you drink, inducing when you stop
No, but it's a first class carcinogenic.
Jägermeister was invented as a remedy against cold. But it turned out to be a cure for dignity.
