That's what I do. I have bottled water that I drink from the refrigerator.

Depression,anxiety,mania,and fear are horrible things to go through. I use to drink beer,and when I wanted to,I drank 151 rum in a soft drink. I used it to self medicate. I understand drinking to self medicate,and get relief. It didn't last forever. It became one of the problems. I stopped drinking many years ago by the grace of God.

Bizi I understand the self medicating which is what you,and I did with alcohol. If it's getting out of control,your eye's open to it,and you get a whole new strength to stop.

The doctor needs to realize that it's not the alcohol,but the real problem is depression,anxiety,and mania,and mental health issues.

I wouldn't tell the doctor to much about the alcohol,because he may get the wrong idea about the mental health issues that are horrible to live with,and you where trying to get some relief. BF
