Tell that to my depression. Back before I got sober days after alcohol were certainly some of my lowest mood days. Its well known that alcohol impares next day production of neurotransmitters responsible for balancing moods.

Now I've been sober for 7 years and my depression has been treated, but I certainly remember those days

In alcohol’s case I think you’re masking the depression by drinking which makes you even more depressed when you aren’t drinking.
