Don't drink too much tho

Alcohol lowers inhibitions of whatever you're currently feeling. So if you're depressed, you're more likely to think, voice and act on the depressive thoughts.

I had a bipolar tenant that stopped taking his lithium and started drinking. Crashed into a few cop cars and is in jail. My moms friend with bipolar was a complete train wreck when she was drinking last week because she told me she felt depressed. A friend with schizophrenia in the psych ward drank alcohol as soon as she got out of the hospital and came back psychotic.

From my own experience too.. I was manic or something and drove to the liquor store drunk without a license and was speeding while it was snowing..
