Stress management: For most people one drink a day is not unhealthy. However, using alcohol to cope with your stress is definitely not healthy. Find other ways to cope. Exercise, write in a journal, talk with friends by phone or in person, see a counselor, meditate, do yoga, find a hobby you enjoy, take a bath, take a walk... The list goes on.

Try something else: Alcohol is actually a depressant and can make stress symptoms worse. Try exercise, meditation, or a new activity to distract your mind and see if it helps with your stress level. If these remedies don't help, see your doctor.
