Yes, I wanted to make that point as well but I think I've said enough already on the issue! Well said, the CNS depressant effect of alcohol doesn't automatically translate into mental depression. For me, even if alcohol or benzos make me maudlin it's often 'theraputic' in a way - like a release of pent-up emotion and tension so I feel better after it. Obviously alcoholism leads to depression and other mental problems but that's a different issue to whether it's safe to drink while taking meds.
