Just want to add my thoughts....I have over a5 years of alcohol and anxiety problems, and alcohol definitely makes it worse. Not while you are drinnking, probably, but most likely the next day and the next day after that. It definitely reduces the effectivesness of any medications you may be taking for anxiety. I have been battling this "seesaw" for what seems like a lifetime. My best suggestions to committ to not drinking ANY (not even one drink) for 45 days and see hoe you feel.
