I can certainly relate to the desire to drink being increased by the darkness of winter. I live in the UK which isn't as bad as Finland with respect to darkness but it is still pretty bad (It is already dark by 4pm at the moment). Like you I don't drink everyday, but I do have a strong urge to get very drunk at least once a week. This urge has got much stronger since adding Prozac to the Remeron that I take. I've read about other people feeling a strong urge to drink on SSRI's. I experienced a similar thing on Effexor. I think it's the associated agitation that makes you crave something that will take the edge off.
