I would be very interested in learning more about why certain people did experience more acute anxiety levels after drinking alcohol. As you said, your clients were "individuals who were very vigilant regarding somatic symptoms", and I feel that this is a start. Further, your point that individuals (because of alcohols ability to lower inhibition) can engage in behavior that would later cause them to experience anxiety is also a solid point. I would appreciate any other comments/suggestions regarding this issue. Thank you for your reply.
