    The Mental Health Foundation says drinking alcohol isn't a legitimate way to deal with mental health issues

    The Mental Health Foundation says drinking alcohol isn't a legitimate way to deal with mental health issues


    During an interview with Newstalk ZB yesterday, advocate Mike King said alcohol can stop negative thoughts - and could be a solution for mental health.

    He's told our newsroom this morning he stands by that.

    Foundation Chief Executive Shaun Robinson says King's heart's in the right place - but he's incorrect.

    He says alcohol isn't good for mental health and is linked to suicide.
