just my experience:

I was smoking pot when I had a panic-attack. I wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot pole now. And I had smoked for years before this, although not heavily.

Alcohol can be OK in moderation but, if you really think it might be the answer, read William Styron's "Darkness Visible" first.

And also consider that the alcohol that "gets you there" today is the alcohol that you'll need every day someday. Read Michael J. Fox's book "Lucky Man" first. He loved his alcohol.

When he finally threw-in the towel and told his wife he had a problem with alcohol; he, being a film and TV star, had the money and time to see therapists and go to AA for years. If you're not rich or famous, you may be out of luck.

Also consider: For most people, alcohol is a depressant, after the initial buzz wears off.

I've lost too much money with "made hands" in poker. I don't feel that lucky anymore.
