No. it would be considered switch hitting to cross use. It's common when stopping one addictive behavior to begin craving other addictive behaviors/substances.

It is highly ill-advised to trade one drug for another. It is advised to go to meetings, or get into a program that can assist you as you progress. Talk to your support system, be honest ad know you can always ask for help, you are not a a failure, you are trying to cope best you can. Allow a professional to help you through it.

If you have a drinking problem, you likely have an issue with compulsive behaviour. Thus, it would be a terrible idea to use drugs.

Two wrongs do not make a right. If you have a drinking problem, then you should seek help, and if you are considering taking drugs then you should seek even more help. Please do not risk your life over substance abuse. Admit to your problem and find the road to recovery

You shouldn't. Alcohol and drugs have very similar effects on the brain, using one can trigger you into using the other! it's not by chance that often alcohol and drug abuse come in pair, the point is to alter your coscience and both the substance can do that

The simple answer - NO.
Truth be told, maintaining abstinence is hard enough without adding any mind altering substances. When we achieve sobriety from one substance, we shold continue abstinence from all substances. Many of us use substances to "self medicate" - to cover hurt, anger, mental illness - and it is easy to substitute one substance for another.

if you have a drinking/ drug problem using the other isn't the wisest thing to do because it can cause harm to you or your loved ones.

No, if you have a drinking problem, the underline issue that you are trying to avoid can not be cured by either substance.
