feelings when drunk

i know alcohol is a depressant, but if you’re in a depressive episode, does it make it worse? what do your actions/words when drunk say about your mental health?

asking this because i got drunk last night and got so sad and angry and i started begging my bf to show me love, and i think i scared him 🙁 in the messages i saw after that i softened up a bit and just started talking about how i felt unloved (we’ve been having relationship issues lately). i’m usually able to have a good time when drinking, but lately i just get upset. is that possibly related to my mental health being bad at the moment along with the relationship issues, or is it just because alcohol is a depressant? is there some way i can drink and avoid getting upset and scaring the people i love? sorry if this is a dumb question, just curious 😭
