No but: The withdrawal may have. Alternatively, you may just be an anxious person who feels better when calmed down by alcohol.

Depends: Depends on if there was underlying issue. It could have just been anxiety or a panic attack. You would have to see your physician for an appropriate history and physical exam to find out what went on.
