🧠 Alcohol & Anxiety: A Vicious Cycle 🍷💥

Did you know that the drink you turn to for relief could actually be fueling your anxiety?

👉 Alcohol affects brain chemistry, especially serotonin and GABA — key neurotransmitters that help regulate mood and stress.

Here’s what happens:

📉 Short-term: Alcohol can make you feel relaxed and less anxious.
📈 Later: As it wears off, your body rebounds — anxiety can spike higher than before.

🔁 Over time, this can create a cycle of dependence, where you drink to calm anxiety, but alcohol ends up making it worse.
