This was my experience. Also booze could lead to depression or mania. In any case I had to give up 100% because it is a substance that doesn't agree--like an allergy or an allergy exactly. Some people can't eat wheat, some can't eat peanuts, some can't eat strawberries. Chocolate brings on migraine in some people. Etc. So what do folks do? Almost always they avoid the offending substance 100% to prevent pain. This doesn't make you an alcoholic--just someone who finds alcohol makes you sick.If you give up for a few months, you could reintroduce a small amount--an honest small amount!!!! like a true single serving of white wine, say, just the one serving--and see if you get the bad reaction. If you don't then you can drink a single serving at appropriate moments! You could then try two glasses and see what happens.
Really we should be abiding by the health recommendations of alcohol and so if you get panic/anxiety after over-drinking, that is less unusual. Many people get panicky and sick after boozing up. It's being toxic. Poisoned. I hope you resolve this as it can cause very much grief unresolved, and that horrible feeling upon an anxiety attack induced by alcohol use is totally bleak, a terror. Milk can help, before a drinking session and after, plus really excellent hydration, small sips of clear water throughout night, good protein to avoid blood sugar problems...But best bet, discover how alcohol intolerant you really are.
