Why might a panic attack occur when alcohol is consumed?
This never happened to me. But I’ve felt a lot of anxiety after I sobered up. That’s why I like to remain sober from alcohol. It makes me act like an extroverted jerk when I’m really an introverted nice person.

Alcohol is a sedative. It does change how your brain functions, and that could contribute to it.
I’d think panic disorders would be more sensitive to stimulants though.

The liver is the main producer of the chemical serotonin. When you drink alcohol it damages the liver, making it harder for it to produce serotonin, which helps control the regulation of mood, appetite, sleep, muscle contraction, and some cognitive functions (memory and learning).

Because later on your body may go through withdrawal.
A hangover is actually withdrawal.
Withdrawal will bring anxiety for certain. Even a next day hangover can do this.
If you mean that you just started drinking and you got anxiety the same day/setting then this will depend.
Is this person taking other medicines/ drugs (even pot).
Does this person have existing an mental issue?
Could this just be fear as well?
The more info you gather the more of a picture you will see as to understand this problem.
