    Alcohol can certainly help for a very temporary escape from anxiety but it is never a permanent escape.

    Anxiety and stress can cause over 100 health problems as in http://au.search.yahoo.com/search?p=%22over+100+an...

    Natural anxiety and stress remedies include meditation, herbs, vitamins and others as in http://au.search.yahoo.com/search?p=%22natural+anx...

    Of course it will. But that's how alcoholism starts, you start taking it when you feel anxious but eventually you will start to feel anxious unless you are drunk. There are many anti-anxiety medications such as Xanax and Valium, these require prescriptions. There is also a herbal root called Kava, it's completely legal and pretty safe.
