If you read enough posts here on SR, a couple of commonalities start to show up. One of them is anxiety and alcohol. Not a good mix.
You say you can cut back? Try quitting for six months. Shouldn't be a big deal if you don't have an issue with alcohol. Struggle, or if you slip and drink, then you have a right to be concerned.
Nip this in the bud. You think you worry now. Try drinking for 30 years and find you can't quit. That's worrisome.
