Should I lower my drinking during the weekends?

I've noticed that after I drink strong alcohol during the weekends my anxiety increases by 10 fold. I wasn't unaware of this but recently its really starting to have a negative impact.

I usually drink Budweiser and while that can have an effect I usually feel fine by one day. But when it comes to something like Peroni thats when things get difficult. I drank two bottles of Peroni on Friday (Budweiser for the rest of the weekend) and I noticed my anxiety is worse on the weekends I have Peroni.

I'm not a big drinker. I can survive a weekend without drinking a lot, I just normally drink on weekends to be social. But because I have anxiety I feel that I shouldn't be drinking a lot even during the weekends and especially if its strong beer like Peroni. Should I cut down? Thanks.

I love wine. I use to drink it more than I should before anxiety. Once I was diagnosed with Anxiety, two glasses of wine would impact me badly the next day. So yes, you may have to cut out drinking until you get it underway.

So, the original answer of "Yep" is correct.
