Replacing wine with vodka would make it a certain eastern european stereotype...
In Italy they have a saying: You can't both have a full (wine) barrel and a drunk wife.
If the former didn't bring you any joy, try the latter!
Could "chociaż" be used here instead of "choć"? Is there any difference in use or meaning between the two, or are they interchangeable?
Zgadzam się, zablokowałem męski głos (oznacza to tylko tyle, że nie będzie używany w ćwiczeniach ze słuchu).
Ever hear the word moderation? We intelligent people practice it. I had a brother was an alcoholic, suicide. Stick with pot and keep your liver and kindneys.
With your life stories you create sort of a noir-esque vibe in the comment section. I find that almost amusing. I'm sorry for your brother, though.

Choc is although. What is the word to tell someone to come to you. Is it the same or just pronounced very similar
We didn't use to accept reverting the order of the clauses, but we started doing it. Added here.
That would be OK English, although I'd prefer a semicolon. "I am sad; I have wine though." However, Duo doesn't care so much about punctuation.
As for the Polish part... I think the most natural translation of such a word order would actually be "... ale mam wino". I mean, the Polish word order is different and "ale" technically means "but", but I think those have the same feel.

Not really:
sad - smutny/ smutna/ smutne
happy/cheerful/bubbly - zadowolony/szczęśliwy/wesoły/pogodny
unhappy - niezadowolony/ nieusatysfakcjonowany/ nieszczęśliwy
Not treally, alcohol is a known depressant. Toke some pot and get laid back. Worked for me and now it's legal :-)
Pot is a known cause of anxiety after prolonged use. How you doing now?
Bartender for six years, pot is a better safer alternative. Nothing amusing about a drunk mouthing off.
I am sad despite having wine, How come that wasn't accepted? It sounds a bit weird actually now that I am thinking about it but it still makes sense to me at least (maybe I need to improve my English grammar).
Yes, this is a good translation.
Your English is fine, you missed "am" (now that I am thinking about it). I would say "makes sense to me at least".
I am sure that "smutny" is accepted. However, if you made some other error, it is likely that Duo will 'correct' you to the version shown at the top of this page, which is the version with "smutna". That does not mean that "smutny" is not accepted.
