When I say drink, i mean alcohol
No. I have a strong history of alcoholism on both sides of my family, so neither of my parents were heavy drinkers, and I never picked it up. Then, too, are the words of a very wise man:
"The sound rule in the matter would appear to be like many other sound rules --a paradox. Drink because you are happy, but never because you are miserable. Never drink when you are wretched without it, or you will be like the grey-faced gin-drinker in the slum; but drink when you would be happy without it, and you will be like the laughing peasant of Italy. Never drink because you need it, for this is rational drinking, and the way to death and hell. But drink because you do not need it, for this is irrational drinking, and the ancient health of the world."

No. Even when I did drink, I never did it to excess. Witnessing my father, godfather, godfather's mom, and various others drink too much and puke so much made me avoid that type of thing. Sure, I'd like to drown my sorrows out, especially after last year, but I can't. My medicine reacts badly with alcohol and I'd hate to put my family through another crisis because I want to forget.
My husband and I stopped drinking when our oldest started high school. Prior to that, I didn't drink often and if I did it was because I was celebrating with friends. I was drunk once when I then learned a friend died in a car accident. I turned into a disaster and can tell you that sadness and alcohol were a terrible combination.
Normally if I'm drinking it's to have fun and loosen up. I drink in social situations. I don't think I've ever drank off of sadness.

I dont drink in general
I decided I'd never drink because I "needed" it. As a result, if I have 12 drinks a year it's been a heavy year...
I started self medicating with alcohol at the age of 13 and did so on/off for 10 years (mostly on).
If i would! I would die soon. My diabetes don't go well with alcohol🤷‍♂️ . So punching people in the face is better, and healthier 🤣
When a person is sad, it is not a good idea to drink. It actually makes the sadness worse in the long run. I really like to drink alcohol but it mostly a relaxing type of thing with me.
As I see it, there's no such thing as drinking your sadness away. It might stop you from feeling it for a little bit, but when you sober up the problems are still there.
I like to have drinks sometimes but not when I’m sad. Alcohol is a depressant and just makes it worse.
Haha no!
If anything if I drink I’ll get sadder and plus, I tend to twist the nipples of men who come too close to me.
Not anymore. And I now wonder how we ever got to a point in society where ingesting poison is socially acceptable, and more often than not encouraged.
No. Severe alcoholism on both sides of the family. Drinking doesn’t solve jack shit. You regroup, come up with a solution, fall down, get up, repeat until it works.
I don't drink alcohol. I pray when I am sad.

No, not at all. When I'm sad, the last thing I'll do is drinking alcohol.
Nah, I was never a real big drinker
Oh sure I drinking moments when I was in my 20s, but that didn't last long
No. Alcohol is just a 'depressant' and deepens the depression.
I don't need to be sad to drink a good Trappist beer for instance, or a good Whisky ;0)
