Roll of the dice for me. Sometimes it just turns out normal, I get drunk, sleep it off, back to normal the next day. Other times it makes things worse, and it could make my insomnia worse, or it could make my depression worse, or both. The way I see it, is that once I'm in a bad episode, alcohol cannot help. I have experienced getting totally ****-faced, sobering up and being hungover - all while awake, from night to dawn. I've also been spoiled with weed from years ago, so alcohol really does feel like a poison by comparison.
