Me personally... alcohol makes my anxiety worse. However, I have GAD, not SAD. I've read the other posts, and benzos have a similar affect on the body as alcohol, so I agree it might be better option. Also, if you drive, you're unlikely to get a DUI on a benzo vs the definite DUI with alcohol. Not to say you CAN'T get a DUI on a benzo, but it's a lot harder to prove. But of course, do not drive if you have dosed on a lot of a benzo anyway (I have to reconsider driving if I'm on over .5 mg of Xanax). Also, the benzo might better because drinking alcohol during the day has such a rotten stigma (even if it's not a bad idea).
