Like there are things that frustrate me till no end and I want to drink to forget about my problems. Would this be the same as drinking on a Saturday night?

Q.

Is it a bad sign when I want to drink to forget my problems?

 

A. Yes.

 

If you feel the need to self-medicate with alcohol to cope with life issues then you need to seek professional help. There are better coping strategies available to you that won't make you go blind or pickle your liver.

 

Please talk to someone about this. You could start with counselling.

 

Good luck.
