I don't know the answer to your question about alcohol. The answer probably varies from one person to another. Since you are feeling better on 10 mg than 20, do you think that maybe you should stay on 10 for a few months and see how it goes rather than quitting right now? It might be that 10 mg will be better for you than quitting.
