Well, alcohol acts as a depressant...maybe that is why you drink to ease your anxiety. Some people smoke and/or drink coffee for their anxiety attacks. If you are drinking in excess, then you may have a problem and must use other methods to deal with your anxiety.

No not pathetic, maybe a bit stupid because you are hiding it with a drink, which will only need more drink as you get used to it, try and get some one to help you now while you can still see reason, once the drink takes hold you will be in even more trouble

No you are not pathetic just treating your anxiety the wrong way that's all, go see your doctor asp as he will be able to get you some treatment for anxiety from a specialist councillor, its nothing to be ashamed of, lots of people suffer with it, drinking will only make it worse honestly, do yourself a favour and go see your doctor and good luck.

Because you've found that alcohol relieves your anxiety, makes you feel more confident, and relaxes your inhibitions. That's why lots of people drink.
It'd be great if it wasn't gradually poisoning you:) Clearly you know that this behavior is bad for you. If you have severe anxiety, why not call up a psychiatrist? There are medicines and therapies that can help you and do not have the side effect of making you want to flash people for Mardi Gras beads.

It is a very common and legal way to postpone problems. They make medications for people with true symptoms of anxiety. You should see your doctor and let them know you are anxious and explain the symptoms you have. If you are prescribed something, be sure no to drink while on the medication, it could be deadly. Good luck!

I drink a lot of coffee if I am particulary stressed, I dont think it is good.
The abuse of alcohol is worse because it messes up you mind - you wont become like Ozzy Osbourne, but thats where you are headed.
Its not pathetic, its an escapism, yopu need to find another way to deal with your emotions.

yup your pathetic, No in all seriousness, a lot of people do the same thing, all you have to do is find a good hypnotist or therapist or at the very least change your compulsion and substitute something else for drink (possibly dental chewing gum. just not cannabis or other recreational drugs)

For you, apparently, alcohol is your coping mechanism to attempt to deal with those things that rise up in your gut in the form of anxiety.
No, YOU are not pathetic. What you are DOING, however, is expensive - both financially and on your health - and doesn't really DEAL with the root of the problem.
Now that you know WHY you do this, and that it is NOT life-giving and is not effective at dealing with the root of the issue, are you ready to STOP doing it?

drinking blocks out anxiety till you sober up then the anxiety comes back worse try not drinking alcohol for a few days and see how you feel if you still have this problem see your doc.... good luck.....35%of people in the UK suffer from anxiaty (fact)
