Thanks. That's where Zen meditation comes in. And there's nothing pink about it. I deliberately didn't say "the depressant effects of alcohol" as that is misleading, depressant referring to its being a CNS depressant. Perhaps it has metabolites that aggravate depression. I think some imbalance of neurotransmitters and some degree of malnutrition sets in after periods of abuse. But if alcohol causes depression, it doesn't do it very effectively (look around you).
