[Closed] Self medicating with Alcohol

Use it for pleasure, don’t rely on it to cope.

Not sure what the difference is. You cope with the shit things in life by enjoying the good things. If a beer or two helps with that then it's as valid as anything else. I'd much rather (and do) self-medicate with booze than anti-depressants or other medical options.

Not sure what the difference is.

From an external PoV quite a lot .... from the inside (speaking from experience) it's hard to tell.

Specifically I think he means enjoy the taste and the act rather than aim for the effect.
