Alcohol & Anxiety: "Every time I Drink My Anxiety Levels Go Sky High, Should I Limit My Intake?"

Dr Illona Duffy offers her expert advice weekly on The Saturday Social.

This week, we had this email in from a listener.

Hi Doctor, 

I was back to work this week after Christmas and have noticed a huge spike in my anxiety. The few days before I went back were so bad I was feeling physically nauseous and negative thoughts would not stop racing around my mind. I had been drinking a lot over Christmas and I more than ever this year I feel like the alcohol really magnified the anxiety. I have noticed over the past few years that a lot of booze makes me more anxious; I'm now thinking of giving up or limiting my intake. Is there a direct link with anxiety and alcohol? Thanks, Michelle
