Drinking Beer At Night After High Stress Job. Taking Vitamin, Milk And Fish. Is My Lifestyle Healthy?

I drink 8. 16oz beer a night after work. High stress job, medical professional for the state prison system. I admit I am a functional alcoholic, I am good at my job. Although I wake up with lag, and make sure I have a good breakfast consisting of eggs, bacon, home fries ,green tea mixed with orange juice, coffee, and 32oz of water. I take multi- mens vitamin, milk thistle because of potential health concerns down the road, and 1,000 mg fish oil because heart problems takes my family out it seems.I have been through two divorices and one girlfriend break up in past 6 years. Have full custody of two teenage girls for which I am to proud to collect child support for. Oldest daughter is going to veterinarian school soon and I do not have anything saved for education, although she did receive a deans scholarship. Therefore I am in the process of selling my home and downsizing to help pay for tuition costs. I am a good dad and I am all my 2 daughters have. I am concerned about my drinking at home late at night. Is my life style unhealthy even if it is a temporary solution which does help me relax and sleep

Helloo...
I wouldnt say drinking is healthy , but you are taking liver protecting supplements and also green tea , your breakfast is fine pretty balanced , all i would say is just add a small exercise regimen like walking or jogging maybe 2-3 times a week and you should be fine.
Thank you and take care
