Worried, paranoid, serious, passive aggressive.

After a drink a changed man. Every night he drinks. I’m so sad. Are those characteristics because of alcohol withdrawal?

Is that all day or just getting towards the time he’s due a drink?

It could just be behaviour stemming from the agitation of needing a drink or it could be the anxiety caused by the alcohol of the night before. However, a lot of people with anxiety use alcohol as a coping mechanism, it sounds like he is most relaxed once he’s had a drink…hence his drinking.
