Alcohol is a CNS depressant, not an emotional depressant. "Depressant" drugs are not necessarily the same as "drugs that cause depression."
Alcohol in excess can make depression worse for some people, however.
I'd say that moderate use of alcohol with an SSRI is okay if it works for you - probably the worst that will happen is you will get sick to your stomach. Some people just can't tolerate the combination, but I think most can.
