    Alcohol really is one of the best anti anxiety drugs on the planet. But, the side effects aren’t worth it in the long run.

    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
