Hello, What I have understood is that you were taking regular and excessive amount of alcohol till three years back. Now the alcohol intake is rapidly escalated and problematic when you are on leave. The social and family related consequences of this alcohol intake has been bothering you. You are also suffering from low mood and it has begun to affect your professional life. I would like to suggest the following approach to your problems. 1. Identify alcohol use as problematic and promise to yourselves to make efforts to leave alcohol. 2. Take help from a psychiatrist to provide medication and psychological intervention to help you get out of alcohol habit and related problems. 3. Join a group like alcoholics anonymous, to help you quit alcohol. Alcohol dependence is a medical disorder like all others and taking medical help will only help you get out of this vicious cycle of alcohol use and social- personal problems. Hope this helps you..

consult a psychiatrist who can assess the alcohol use and your mental state before arriving at a management plan.
