I used to go to the bar and have a drink. After a decade of that, it started to make my anxiety worse, and have significant negative effects on my physical and mental health. For the past several years, I've switched to exercise. After work I go for a short 1-2km jog by default, because it's easy, but I try to do something more interesting when I have the time and energy: swimming, biking, kayaking, yoga, etc. It's not as easy as having a drink, but a 15-20 minutes is enough to make me feel better, and feeling better usually lasts the rest of the night, helps me sleep better and wake up rested, which is something alcohol never did for me.
