I recommend that only when you have your anxiety / panic attacks under reasonable control that you partake in getting legless, or even a wee bit tipsy.

My experience with alcohol has evolved over the past 8 months (period of anx. disorder from start to present today).
In the early days of anxiety / panic peak, the act of getting drunk could go either way... things would either turn out OK or HELLISH.
Most often the latter, unfortunately.
The next day hangovers would ALWAYS trigger panic attacks. My worst ever panic attack was thanks to a hangover.

As I got better, the act of getting drunk still, often starts as anxious (the first few drinks), after which I completely mellow and anxiety is completely passified.
Now, hangovers are OK, but the tiredness the next evening often catches me out.

Best off avoiding for the time being, but worry not... you'll be back on it in no time.

FYI: I got in at 3.30am last night after dancing all night in a few Essex clubs. Got shit faced... have a hangover but am completely at ease (for the time being).

NO!
You have a mental illness not a physical one!

This sentence holds a key difference between people who develop anxiety disorder and those who don't.
Those who don't tend to have a "don't give a shit about anything" attitude, those who do tend to worry about everything.

Ignorance is bliss < true
