[quote:Anonymous Coward 34463405:MV8zMDQ2NDMyXzU0MDkxOTg3X0U0QTc1RUFD] Alcohol is actually a depressant. But people are too fucking stupid to realize this. [/quote]

"People may think that alcohol helps them cope with difficult situations and emotions, and that it reduces stress or relieves anxiety, but alcohol is in fact associated with a range of mental health problems including depression, anxiety, risk-taking behaviour, personality disorders and schizophrenia.
Alcohol has also been linked to suicide. The Mental Health Foundation reports that:
65% of suicides have been linked to excessive drinking;
70% of men who take their own life drink alcohol before doing so;
almost one third of suicides among young people take place while the person is intoxicated.
Excessive drinking can disrupt normal sleeping patterns, resulting in insomnia and a lack of restful sleep, which can contribute to stress and anxiety."
