I used to drink a lot of beer every day and slept normally.
Then I quit drinking because it started to be incompatible with my aging body, but I still drink 2 or 3 strong Belgian beers on Saturday and Sunday: now I sleep normally on weekdays, and I fall into a dreamless slumber on weekends.
My conclusion is that, at least for a man my age, alcohol gives me more hours of lesser quality sleep. Make of that what you will.
I drank 12 beers a day for about 10 years. Also mixed it with benzos. Eventually stepped it up to 18 when I went to a coding bootcamp and started having daily panic attacks
And compartmentalize things. Saying “fuck it” is okay sometimes. I’m not bringing stress of work to bed, to playtime with my kids, to all sorts of things. I leave that shit where it belongs, and if there are consequences I’ll deal with them in time. And usually there’s not and everything’s fine.

Your experience is backed up by science. Alcohol suppresses REM sleep.
The most productive I’ve been in like the last year was when I had 12 beers the night before and I was nursing a hangover all day
Thats my yearly dose

It might have something to do with that.
You can’t run away forever - face your problems. Life can be good
