So this is a question manky for the heavy drinkers who would probably be referred to as "weekend alcoholics", basically those who tie one on about 1 or 2 times a week, mostly on Fri/Saturday nights. Or maybe just once a month even, just enough where you'd have a decent sample size to work with.
On a night you drink pretty heavily, I mean drinking not to blackout level. But, you are definitely gonna feel like ass the next morning and probably not feel decent until late morning or sometime in the afternoon(depending on when you stopped drinking the prior day/night). So on the following night or late evening, after drinking this much, anyone ever start to get bad anxiety? I am prone to having mild anxiety, but it seems to be the worst the night after I drink a lot. If I am going to have a panic attack level of anxiety, its typically during these occasions. It usually is after the hangover has passed, too. I am actually feeling kind of decent then I just start worrying about stupid stuff that I am usually making up in my head or, when it's real bad, having a panic attack.
This is pretty common for me, I have many times had a few drinks to ward off the anxiety, so I feel it could be related to my body expecting to get some alcohol in it around the same time I would've started drinking the night before.
I also find the day after a hangover is when I get the worst depression. I am typically not a person who suffers from much depression. But 2 days after a heavy drinking episode I will feel pretty down. The next day I'll be fine as long as I lay off the booze. I feel this is definitely a more neurologic related situation with an unbalance of chemicals in the brain. So I guess it's kind of a 2 part question, anyone get that effect from drinking, too?
