There’s a lot of information and references to alcohol being a depressant as it depresses the central nervous system. However, there’s not much info about it from that point on and on some level, it seems the connection to depression as mental health issue, at least based on cheap internet articles, is based on the use of the term ‘depressed’.
I understand why alcohol is not helpful on a practical level, but many imply that it will make you depressed or exacerbate on a physiological level.
Can anyone help explain this better?
Edited for clarity.

No no you’ve got it all wrong
I drink _because_ I am depressed
It actually makes me feel great, I wish I could do it all day every day, but I don’t hate my liver that much
