When you drink, like on the weekend, can it cause you to become depressed a few days after?

Unfortunately alcohol is a depressant. Although whilst drinking it makes you feel like all your troubles are far away!!!

alcohol does depress the senses and some people feel the effect immediately and for others, a few days after. but it's a case to case basis. take into consideration the quantity of alcohol consumed, if the person is already suffering from depression or if there's a problem at hand to cause the state of depondency. always remember that though alcohol may numb the person, that doesnt exactly solve the problem

Alcohol causes depression in a number of people in the morning after. Depression coming on after a few days of alcohol consumption could b due 2 some other cause.

Yes. It causes dehydration, which in turn upsets your hormone balance. It also messes with your sleep cycle. Why not alternate alchololic with non-alcohol drinks instead of being a sheep and just binging. It makes your immune system vulnerable as well. Colds will make you depressed and you won't notice the symptoms for a couple of weeks.
If you do binge, take a course of multivits, some live yoghurts and keep your liquids up afterwards.

Like others have said alcohol IS as depressant. I do drink occasionally but I'm fully aware of the consequences.
That's why doctors normally tell you to stay clear if you take anti-depressants as they kill the effect. Apart from the psychological, it also acts as a barrier to actively take action on what's bothering you.

Yes I think so, when I've gone for it I feel pretty depressed the next day. Alcohol is a well known depressant. Mind you it doesn't stop me.

Alcohol is a depressant, full stop. The natural reaction to alcohol is a lowering of your mood.
