The drinking is probably a combination of all of the aforementioned things. I would agree that it is not a good coping mechanism though. What are some other things that you enjoy that you can do to relieve stress? Can you practice deep breathing, go for a walk, listen to some feel good music?
Also, not all mania is good mania! You sound like you may be manic; I would give your pdoc a call.
