take the edge off

The consumption of an alcoholic beverage in order to relax. Also used to describe the practice of drinking a beer in the morning after a night of drinking.
School and work have me stressed out, I need something to take the edge off.

I woke up with the worst hangover this morning. A beer in the shower was just what I needed to take the edge off.
