Yes Dinah I agree. There's nothing like alcohol for calming anxiety. AND it's fun too! Unfortunately it nearly killed me so now I no longer have my friend to fall back on. I think it's true that using alcohol to calm nerves is the first sign of alcoholism. If we define alcoholism as being dependent on alcohol and given that many have constant anxiety problems, this is to be expected. The problem is, eventually health, your Dr, friends and family will probably force abstinence and then there's nothing. Xanax is almost nothing for me.
