I'm not clear on the connection here, but it sounds as if you're considering using alcohol to treat the PTSD anxiety. Since alcohol is a depressant, all it will do is increase you anxiety. Are you seeing a doctor? Or a therapist for the PTSD?

If you're winging it, St Johns Wort, camomile and lavender tea, meditation and yoga are better choices. Alcohol, I'm afraid, will make everything worse ...
