Hello,
You must get rid of alcohol and also start meds for depression and anxiety. Both alcohol and depression are closely interlinked in your case and this is a very common problem faced by people who take alcohol and develop depression.

No antidepressant will work nicely till you donot stop liquor.

So, you must meet a doctor, preffrably a psychiatrist who can start the deaddiction process and also prescribe an antidepressant. The deaddiction process is needed to be monitored very closely and cannot be guided here. It requires seeing a patient in person.
Also get your blood tests done. Your doctor would write them to you- depending on your physical condition .
Wish you good health.
