    Yes, at first but it's bad for you and alcohol is a depressant. I stopped when I realized I was self medicating. Now I just have the occasional drink every now and then. And by that I mean maybe once a month.

    I am the same and drink as before; i don't drink much. I noticed though sometimes when I drink small bottle of lager it makes me tense afterwards rather than relax. I seems wanting chocolate a lot during peri. I don't know what is going on!
