Coiledspring-I guess your name reflects how you feel right now.
In some cultures anxiety/panic attacks are just plain misunderstood and in drinking societies yes it is "have a shot" and so on.
I truly wish you success in this and if you will allow me:
You may have two separate issues 1) problem drinking made worse by stress 2) Real anxiety-the panic and not liking crowds/planes etc is genuine and I wish people would start treating it the way other conditions are treated.
Have seen people really booze it up before they actually got help with the ptsd/anxiety/panic disorder.
Keep looking for professional help and stress it is the panic that makes you drink not the other way around.
Peace.
