Will drinking a lot of alcohol help to make you happy and forget your troubles?

Or will it just lead to more misery in the end?

More misery in the end

Even if you don't let yourself become an alcoholic, or don't let your drinking interfere with your work and school?

Well, you said lots. Drinking in measured portions isn't bad.

I'm thinking about getting a handle of vodka and polishing it off in 3 weekends.

Drink in moderation. A hangover is no fun. If you are depressed though stay away from alcohol.

I'm not clinically depressed, just stressed out about school and somewhat socially isolated, and stuck in the past.

I wasn't specifically meaning you when I commented above. Alcohol can relieve stress but don't overdo it. It is a depressant so I think people should only drink (in moderation) when they aren't in a bad place emotionally. People with anger management issues should stay away from alcohol as well though. Unfortunately a lot of people with emotional problems etc tend to drink alcohol as well. It can be very enjoyable if you are out to relax and unwind. A lot of what I've said is just common sense.

It's really hard to obtain it for me right now, since the dealers on campus are paranoid.
