Just curious

In my life and in all my medial training, ive head that alcohol is supposed 2 make problems go away or make you forget about them since its a depressant. But whenever i drink, like rn, i get so so so much more depressed and sad. Its like the feelings i have are amplified a ton. I just dont understand why this happens. And why i still love drinking when i hate how sad i get. Could i maybe have a problem? (Im super worried abt being an alcoholic since theres lots of alcoholics in my family)
