I dont think anxiety and alcohol mix

[j brown]

I had a few drinks last night with some friends, I was fine while drinking, but today I feel anxious . Dose alcohol trigger anxiety more?

[Hannah_28]

I think so.. It's one of the reasons I've stopped

[Dre_1203]

Makes me feel worse the next day as well. It sucks.

[alankay]

Yep. It should pass quickly if you didn't drink too much. Alankay

I believe I'm going to stop too because it makes my heart flutter more, and me have harder palpataions

It cant hurt to stop drinking anyway, or at least not drink too heavy.

It makes sense that anxiety can get worse when you generally feel worse than normal (like a hangover)

I feel much better now than when I used to drink pretty frequently, and I think laying off the alcohol contributed to that.

Alcohol will absolutely magnify any anxiety attack, especially after a hangover. That's why I stopped drinking years ago. It just wasn't worth it to me to feel so helpless and horrible at the same time. I can honestly say I don't miss drinking or going out to bars at all. Even though I still deal with anxiety from time to time, it's nowhere near as intense as it used to be. I think if you stop or at least cut down how much you drink when you go out, you'll see a big difference. Hope you feel better soon.

I can't even have 1 drink without my anxiety amping up i wish i could drink and have fun

[Hannah_28]

I don't miss it and the environments ppl tend to drunk in pubs bars parties etc always used to make me worse anyway

[worry_10years]

Yes Anxiety feeds off Alcohol, I suffer really bad anxiety for ten years and I have just been away to Liverpool for a night and was very drunk. Ive been crippled with anxiety and cried non stop for two days. Hate this feeling

I feel so good when I drink. If I could have a couple drinks in me at all times I would be perfect haha no anxiety. But tthe next day is a fuckin horror show. I feel like I did horrible things all night. I get embarrassed ashamed swear I'm never leaving my house again. And have violent panic attacks. Its nice to feel relief and have fun but at the same time its not worth the mess the next day.
