I don't want to lecture anyone, but as a person that until recently used alcohol way too much as a crutch in their life, it's really not a good solution. The problem is when it wears off, the anxiety will return but extra. Think maybe 1.2x what it was before, but if you keep using it then to address that anxiety that multiplier gets ugly. If you're getting really nervous for interviews, you might consider why you're investing so much importance to the interview itself. It's just a job, and their opinion of you should not impact your opinion of yourself. If they choose not to hire you (which is, generally speaking, most likely), or you choose not to accept, that's really a blessing. It means you both figured out it was the wrong fit before anyone got too invested. I just left a job after only a couple days because I realized it was the wrong fit, and I feel awful about it, I wish I had grilled them more during the interview process and vice versa. It's much better to get a "no" than a "yes" that isn't right.
