Honest advice: Stop drinking if it makes you feel more depressed the next days. I have been using alcohol to level out both my hypomania and my depression. I ended up in a very ugly mixed state that came with a lot of suicidal thoughts and self-injury. Drinking is known to severly contribute to depression, my pdoc even calls it a depressant. I mainly quit drinking about two weeks ago and first my mood stabilized and now I am getting hypomanic which I prefer to depression. Anyway I got drunk on Friday and it had an immediate negative effect on my mood the day after. I understand feeling bored one hundred percent. But instead of drinking try to do something that inspires you, maybe meeting a good friend (who also doesn't drink) or go to the movies or anything like that. It did a huge deal for me.
