Answer 2

I have a chronic anxiety disorder and when I drink or get drunk I tend to cry alot and then fight with people... But other times I can be fine and just as happy as other people... It's the next day that affcts me most.. I get very very anxious and end up spending the next couple of days having panic attacks....

Answer 3

Less anxiety, generally speaking in the short-term, but if you get wrecked and are hung over in the morning, your anxiety then will be increased.  

HOWEVER, if you're on any kind of medications for your anxiety, then there could be some chemical interactions that could change things around a bit.  If you are on any meds, I'd read the warnings and interactions parts on them just to make sure, or ask your doctor if drinking on meds will affect either the way the meds work or how you react.  

Answer 4

take some xanax!!!!

Answer 5

It can make You heaps more paranoid and sick It is not at all good It causes more stress and worries in the head I should know hence I don't touch alchahol any more.

Answer 6

Hard to say, but with any disorder like anxiety or depression it's usually best to steer clear of alcohol.  I have both anxiety disorder and have dealt with major depression before, and if I am ever feeling even slightly depressed or anxious, I steer clear of alcohol entirely.  Drinking when you are depressed or anxious can easily lead to alcoholism because it covers up your feelings, but only for a few hours, so you end up drinking again.  I really really strongly suggest that you avoid alcohol if you have any sort of anxiety disorder unless you know that you are totally in control.
