Never mind 'grow up.' Some of us actually ask genuine questions. This is one of them. Seriously. Unless you know me then stop the assumptions.
Answers:
Honestly, I have been trapped in that same cycle. I am an alcoholic. I drank because I was depressed until eventually I was depressed when I drank. (confusing?) Depending on how much you drink (only you can decide) you may need to detox and then while at a detox you can ask about what medications may help with your depression. Not everyone needs detox and not everyone needs medication.
You could also find an AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) meeting in your area. That might help.
I am sorry you are having such a rough time right now. Just keep your head up. At least you are interested in a solution and are asking for help.
Good Luck!
