Alcohol is a depressant. It won't impove anybody's mental health.

  Depressant doesn't mean it makes you depressed. Alcohol is as old as civilization and absolutely will improve mental health if not over consumed. It's called having fun and enjoying your limited time here.

    Are there non-alcoholics over the age of 30 that actually believe this? I don't even drink, but alcohol after college has been nothing but trouble.

      I’m in my mid-40s and am not an alcoholic. But I am quite shy. A drink or two in a social setting can absolutely help me open up and engage with others and enjoy myself. And having good social interactions improves my mental health. Of course trying to drink away your depression doesn’t work, but alcohol can be a tool in a mentally healthy lifestyle.

  It it's a choice between drinking with friends outside or playing on your phone alone at home, it might be that the first option is better for most people's mental health even if alcohol, in isolation, is bad for it.
