Yes: Alcohol withdrawal results in increased anxiety. If you are drinking enough to get withdrawal, then you are drinking far too much. The next step after experiencing significant withdrawal may be a seizure or the development of delirium tremens (dt's). Seek help now to safely stop drinking, and get the additional help you need to stay stopped.

It is more likely...: That you are confusing anxiety with withdrawal. Many alcoholics describe a feeling of anxiety or uneasiness when they are about to have an urge or a craving to drink. This represents psychological, rather than physical, withdrawal symptoms.
