How do you know?

I do, as well. If someone is worried, take that as an indication that it's important to go. When we drink, our inhibitions are lessened and things come out that we usually keep suppressed. Even though those issues aren't front and center all day, they're still there. So if you get sad when drinking, it's worth exploring what that sadness is about. And - a suggestion, if I may - consider not drinking at all until you work on the issues that show up when your inhibitions are down. You don't want to be overwhelmed with difficult issues when you've lost your usual inhibitory balance.

Orrr, stay drunk and naked, partying hard till you die... shouldn't take that long.

But what you don't want to do, is sit and worry about what you should do, because that will make you nuts.

Keep in mind if you see a psychiatrist, or therapist, or even a regular doctor, the decision to take drugs is yours. Take them if you trust the recommendation, after reading what they are and what they do. Then bring them up to the prescriber often... "Do I still need these? Why?" Taking charge can help you feel better just from the empowerment.
