-There are quite a few episodes wherein drinking alcohol is suggested in response to stress or emotional trauma.
-Binge drinking is depicted in a handful of episodes.
-In S5E19 "Bachelor/ette Party" there is excessive drinking, including drinking games
-In S6E5 "A Tale of Two Bandits," the NYPD engages in an outright drinking contest with the FDNY that involves binge drinking to the point of vomiting.

While undercover in Florida, Jake gets frosted tips in his hair. Upon returning to NYC, the squad tells him his hair looks stupid and that he can cut it or they will do so for him; this is portrayed as an intervention, and Jake is sitting in a chair wearing a barber's cape. At first Jake resists, but when he sees Charles has gotten the same hair style, he comments that he can finally see how bad the look is, and agrees to let them cut his hair.

In episode 11 of season three, Amy breaks Terry’s nose by kneeing him in the face during his self defense seminar. You hear it, see her kneeing him, but you can’t really see the nose. The aftermath can be seen though, and there is blood. Also in another episode, a man breaks his leg (offscreen), (GROSS WARNING) we hear the noise and Jake says, “nothing to see here, just the bone, sticking out of the leg”

On multiple occasions people are kidnapped on this show - it is a police show so kidnappings and hostage situations are frequent.

Hitchcock has a mistress and it is mentioned that he's cheated on his wives many times, some side characters from specific episodes also cheat such as the Vulture on his fiancee and a few other examples and in a quite a few episodes cheating is also brought up. It is frequently joked with.

There is at least one shower scene in the show but there is NO NUDITY shown and it is not meant to be uncomfortably erotic like most shows do shower scenes it is meant to be humorous and it includes many jokes.

probably more but season 6 ep 17: during a prison scene after Jake and Boyle finish talking to a cannibal inmate (Caleb), jake goes to shake his hand and he grabs it suddenly and tries to eat it. No sudden close-up, but definitely chaotic and unexpected.

Yes Terry has a lot of body dysmorphia due to being fat before the show took place. He is obsessed with maintaining his perfect body and reacts very strongly to any sort of fat joke.
At one point his wife is concerned with losing baby weight causing Terry, Amy and Gina to go on a comically restrictive diet in solidarity.

The only panic attacks I can think of are Amy’s claustrophobia, Rosa’s fear of giving blood and Holt’s elevator phobia. All are mild but do feature heavy breathing etc. I can’t think of any others off the top of my head but I think there are a couple others (involving Jake and Charles?).

Amy, the claustrophobic character, is occasionally locked in small spaces and experiences anxiety. The cast as a whole is occasionally trapped in a specific room for humor or plot points, but they are not generally tense.

While the answer is yes, the hate speech portrayed is done so by the antagonist of the episode and he is promptly punched in the face into a hot tub. Likewise, the main characters share their disgust toward that kind of speech. It is there, but it is swiftly punished and denounced.

The show hasn't ended yet but I don't understand how the ending would be unhappy. In fact, the season finales from season 6,7&8 are tear-jerkers because of how happy and warm it makes you feel inside

This is a cop show; guns are shown, pointed, and fired. At the end of S1 E11, a main character is shown being shot in the b**t (he survives and this is mainly played for comedic effect).
