Hi Lost In. I have looked at this. I was definitely self medicating this summer, but as I have not had a drink in the month since my episode, and only once did I get to the point where I thought "Oh my god I could use a drink right now" I don't think alcohol is an overlying issue. I seem to drink a lot when manic only. Now that I am on meds, alcohol is taboo for the foreseeable future. Maybe some day I will be able to have a glass of wine with dinner, but that day is a very log way off, if it exists at all.
