Drinking in my experience only makes things much, much, much worse. Its so easy to drink away depression and problems, but its very temporary and when you come to, the depression is far worse than the night before. Its a dangerous cycle you do not want to do to yourself.

I wouldn't be afraid of being in patient, especially if they are good and honorable doctors that won't dismiss you if you tell them you are not ready to be discharged.

Hang in there.
