Do other people have terrible anxiety after a night out..?

[Esto]

I know most people have a bit of hangover blues/oops can't believe I said that, but as I'm getting older I'm finding the day(s) after a night out (even where I'm not particularly drunk) just unbearable.

We attended the wedding of DH's colleague yesterday, it was absolutely lovely. At the time I felt ok, making small talk and having a little dance at the evening party. But today I've gone over everything I said and did, scrutinized it all and felt embarrassed and humiliated by it. I've concluded that they all hated me and I was a total embarrassment to DH and his colleagues will think I'm an idiot and by extension that so is he.

WTF? My thoughts are just getting out of control

This has been such a revelation!

I have suffered from this for 30 years. I'd always think I'd upset people or made a total fool of myself. I think I'd drink more as I was anxious. Throughout my 20 I had at least weekly. I was internally in torment. I told one nice chap at a party once and he was astounded, very sweet but said, why on Earth would you think that, ever, that's crazy.
Since then, DH has always just uhoh, not this again. All nonsense, not indulging it etc. I met ONE other person last year who had it, and now, today I've discovered this thread. I had no idea it was actually a thing!!! It's comforting to know I'm not the only one, but wish it were different.

I've definitely found it has got worse as I've got older (I'm mid 30s) even though I drink far less than I did in my 20s. That said, I'm much more stressed and anxious about life generally now than I was then so maybe the two go hand in hand.

I did. Turned out was in abusive relationship. The anxiety came from the emotional abuse which made me consider myself a total womble and embarrassment. Husband gone. Post-night out anxiety gone.

How's your relationship?

Beer fear.

Yes I get this even when I don’t drink. I’m not in the slightest bit anxious normally. I just feel like I’m being made fun of, people hate me, they’re all talking about me...

I’m 37 and fat. I know that is the reason behind it but can’t articulate it further.
