Personally depending drinking can heighten my anxiety, just like coffee can.

I've noticed as of late that I have been getting more anxious from drinking.....well slightly. I still loose a lot of social inhibitions for the duration of the drunk but when I come out of it I often feel a lot more paranoid that I did something stupid even though I didn't. Then again I've always had a regret-type feeling after getting drunk, but it seems like the regret feeling is getting more pronounced. Maybe it's my mind inside telling me what a waste of time drinking is.

On the other hand I never get the "regret" feeling with pot, nor am I ever that anxious at all when high.

libbylou02 I know exactly how you feel. I drank because of my anxiety dissorder as well. When I would get big periods of OCD I would also increase my drinking.
