Yea I have always had this feeling if I went out somewhere. I would always drink before getting there because I knew there would not be enough booze for me. Even if I left drunk, I would get home and drink more because my buzz was starting to simmer.

My biggest fear on either a night out or a night in was the supply of alcohol, was there enough, when was the bar closing, who was on the next round, was there a liquor store close by to stop at on the way home.

For example:
When I would attend a small dinner party, or some other small get together, I’d often (always) get a bit anxious that there won't be enough alcohol. Even if I had already tuned-up before I arrived.
If it was a group of 2-3 couples for example, and I learned that the host only purchased a 12-pack of beer for the evening, that would actually disturb me the entire night, even if I already had a decent amount of alcohol already in me. Just the fact that there’s only a modest limit of beer left would run through my mind the entire time, and sort of put a damper on evening. I’d actually get the desire to leave and go home where my booze was plentiful. (Just another booze annoyance that I don't miss.)
Is this a common trait?

This was also a huge problem for me. 2 bottles of wine for six people?! Were they kidding?! I wanted two for myself. So glad I don't have to worry about that anymore.
I would get anxiety at BARS. The waiting in line part always worried me.

I would stay and help clean up. And gulp the leftover cocktails or beers left behind. Feast! What really sucked was the last and final time I sucked down a cocktail with several cigarette butts included. Someone's ashtray!
