I agree with Coexist, using alcohol as a coping mechanism could lead you down a darker road. You're essentially replacing one self destruction act with another. Whilst at this point in time you aren't really drinking much, you're still putting a reliance in it which is not healthy. That reliance can easily take hold of you, you may find yourself drinking more and more as time goes on or as you enter more challenging and stressful times.

I would suggest visiting the Self Harm forum and their distraction/coping tips to point you in a healthier direction.
