There is nothing wrong with that. I used to get a little loaded *before* therapy--1 or 2 beers, margaritas, etc. Once we switched our session time and I found myself drinking wine at 7 in the morning. (I had to concede that perhaps I had a little bit of a problem that morning :)).
I started this was after I told my therapist I was attracted to her (couple years ago) and I found it excruciating to talk about. Several months ago I told her I used to do that, and she'd never noticed! I must have hid it well because she watches me like a hawk, even leaning down to see my face when I look at the floor.
It didn't really help that much. Only getting completely trashed would have taken away the level of anxiety I had then, and even I draw the line at going to therapy completely trashed :)
