I have a bit of General anxiety and social anxiety already. But it takes on a whole new world after a night of drinking. I can deal with the physical hangover, but the mindf**k that goes with it, can be overwhelming, and often I'd drink to get out that state of head ASAP. but that only makes it way worse the next day.

I think there are a lot of people who binge drink because of the anxiety that drinking induces.
