Those links look interesting enough that I might actually follow them. :)
In my own experience, drinking hasn't done much either way to affect my depression. Stumbling (caused by alcohol or just my own obliviousness) into positive social situations has. Maybe that's 'cause my depression is somewhat reactive -- meaning that good stuff going on outside my head can sometimes find its way inside.
Anyway, I don't see a reason to avoid moderate social drinking on SSRIs...unless you find your depressive symptoms have a taste for Sam Adams.
