Bad idea: This will lead down a hole that will difficult to later climbout of.Self medicating with alcohol may give short term relief. However,it will lead-to addiction that later larger and larger amounts of alcohol due to tolerance will not relieve your symptoms.In the long run will lead to health problems as well as increased anxiety.See a psychiatrist to get definitetreatment for OCD.

Agree with Dr. K: Alcohol is not a solution to any problem. Consult a psychiatrist as there are medications to address your issue.
