There's nothing wrong with it, but as you're getting into it pretty late in life, just remember moderation and don't make it something you depend on all the time. I hate it to break it to you, but the euphoric feeling you've been enjoying probably won't last forever. As you grow accustomed it will be less and less, so maybe try to save the drunkenness for the occassional session and experiment with just having a few drinks to unwind/relax. Definately don't look at it as a way to beat depression - even though you're feeling pleasant and wound up when you drink now, ultimately booze is a depressant substance on your whole nervous system, and like I said the lift your feeling with your initial experimentation isn't permanent. I'd also suggest some social drinking, as that's what people generally enjoy most. Call up some friends and go out for drinks. There's a whole other dimension to drinking than just pounding liquor for the buzz that it seems like you're not getting to enjoy.
