I’ve seen several pieces of advice saying to avoid alcohol as it contributes to depression and anxiety. I believe it’s true, from experience. Just wondering why it’s true- what mechanisms are impacted by alcohol that contribute to depression and anxiety.
Only request: please don’t say ‘alcohol is a depressant.’ unless explaining how that makes alcohol contribute to depression/ anxiety (depressants are a completely different thing to depression)

It doesn’t. It just amplifies what’s already there.
If you’re sad, you get really, really sad.
If you’re happy, you get really, really happy.
If you’re a little bit depressed, you get very depressed.
