Alcohol made my anxiety better for hours and then worse for weeks. I was never able to put that together until I was sober for about 3 months and I realized the anxiety had mysteriously vanished. I always thought the effects of the booze were out of my system after a day or 2. Turns out persistent use creates changes in the brain that last for weeks or months. Those changes cause increased anxiety and depression.
Alcohol - the problem that masquerades as the solution.
