Hugs. Keep trying. Though I did binge drink once a month or less in college (it was definitely associated with hypomania)--I was a very moderate drinker before being prescribed Wellbutrin. The Wellbrutrin made it so that the drinks would never make me tired resulting in me continuing to drink after everyone else went to bed. Then the drinking would interfere with the quality of my sleep. It is so important to get some quality sleep every night. It helps that we do not keep alcohol in the house and that my husband no longer drinks. This link describes perfectly some of the reasons I drank after college and other reasons I no longer drink:
