    Drinking alcohol to reduce stress is like putting a band aid on a toothache. It is the wrong treatment for the problem and won't stick. Alcohol is temporary and too much will cause more problems in the end by hurting your body and your bank account. It is much better to try and deal with tension through meditation, breathing techniques and exercise.
