Alcohol can be a good medicine for many ADHD bipolar and the like.. It was used all through history, and if you are a Christian believer, was prescribed by God himself, to joy the heart, and ease depression and poverty.
BUT, just like abusing any medicine from a doctor, the bad effects will out weight the good. Alcohol is a natural depressant.. not meaning sadness, but it calms in small amounts (glass or two), but when you tip the scale into drunk, the effects will be more evident in a AHD bipolar than one without these so called disorders. The danger for most ADD and Bipolar, is in their trials, they are susceptible to self medication. I myself am a bipolar schizophrenic and though i did have my battle with Alcohol in the past, with discipline I now drink in moderation with no ill effects as does my father (bipolar) and wife (ADHD - we like to stick together;).
