It sounds terrifying to me to connect drinking to a coping mechanism at all.
The two things should be unrelated. I would reach out to a doctor and ask for a serious drug if life is challenging enough that I need a medical coping mechanism (and this is totally fine).
Connecting something used for pleasure and socialization suddenly with a coping mechanism sounds like a recipe for a disaster.
Same with sugar, to be clear.
