I'm a binge drinker and use alcohol to cope, mainly vodka. My therapist said that there lies a difference between drinking, and drinking to cope. Due to alcohol being a depressant, it can make you feel even worse. Probably the day after without you realizing it. I certainly do. My only concern right now with alcohol other than health issues, is that I will do things that I normally would not do. I also drink alone and find myself crying towards the end of the night. I know all too well how triggering family can be especially around such an amazing time as your wedding. You getting married is number one priority and no one can mess with that. Just drink responsibly and don't let it get out of hand. You will be filled with so much endorphins on your wedding day, you might not even need a drink. Well, thats what happened to me anyway. Congratulations on your wedding, it YOUR day.
