Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I drank in the afternoon, slept for 4-5 hours woke up feeling fine and sober, I went to the grocery store and while there had a massive panic attack and had to leave, i had problems finding my vehicle and was pulled over a couple of blocks from the store, someone had called in about me wandering the parking lot. I went to the doctor and was diagnosed with Grave's Disease, t4 was high 1.92 and t3 was 9 something tsh was below .0025. I was arrested and by the time they got me to jail and drew my blood i felt fine again although very tired from the stress. My blood alcohol came back >= .15 which seems impossible given the amount i drank(200 ml) and the time involved (11 hours)

alcohol may affect this by inhibition of GABA pathways.
In Grave's disease anxiety is common and may worsen with alcohol intoxication or withdrawal. Thyroid hormonal imbalance also cause anxiety and depression.
Need to cut down alcohol and take treatment of anxiety or panic.
