No. Those are deceptive. They help in the moment - to ease your pain for a night. But then the pain comes back again the next day. It's like taking a pain killer for an infected toe. It's probably a good idea to either have it looked at or see if you can fix the problem yourself. If the sadness is temporary, sometimes a good night's sleep is the cure, not booze.
If you want to get help, I advise asking for counseling from your friends who are not depressed. Or talk to a professional.
I know you won't do that, so I advise that you read this.

Take what's useful and leave the rest behind.

They do not help. However, alcohol makes you feel relaxed until you are coming off it
