One thing about alcohol...I can see why it can be so addicting. Alcohol makes us feel invincible, which is the exact counter to a panick attack where we basically feel our most vulnerable.
HOWEVER, the next day after a drinking binge can be devastating because not only do we physically feel terrible, whatever feelings of invincibility will be drastically reduced as well. This could lead to a worse attack or, going back to the bottle.
Dangerous combo.
