I can't even taste any difference.
I'm tempted to buy some of those flavoured syrups too! Yum!

Coffee use to do it to me but I think it was all in my mind, I take 7 sugars in my coffee only from McDonald's cause the McDonald's uses a machine which is a real tea spoon where if I take coffee anywhere else I only get 2 sugars cause a real teaspoon doesn't have a big roundness to it

There's a range of foods that can provoke anxiety. I've changed my diet and noticed that my head has been a lot clearer since doing so. Here's a link with some suggestions, I hope this helps.

Is it just the effects of speeding up your heartbeat?

It does for me. 2 beers & I feel completely normal again. Although, if I overdo it, it makes it much worse the next day.

It's funny you say that coz 2 beers sorts me out a treat aswell just calms you right down, do you think tho that the hangover effects of over doing it is just the anxiety making you think the drinks doing it?

I'm not sure. Maybe now it does, but it was my ex boyfriend that noticed that I was worse the day after a night out. I never put them together before, just thought it was me being a bit moany about a hangover, but when I thought about it, it does make sense.
It might be the dehydration or something? I'm not too sure really.
