No, a hangover makes one less physically and mentally competent.

It does not cause anxiety, it amplifies existing anxiety.

I have done extensive research on this subject.

frde - If it amplifies an exsisting anxiety, doesn't that mean it can make one?
Also, if extensive research was done- Where is it? I would like to see
it for myself to determine if your information is right.

"anxiety" can also be a symptom of withdrawal from alcohol.

I have worked in the psychiatry Addictions Unit in a large urban
hospital. Most of the patients who quit any drug, especially
depressants like alcohol have increased levels of anxiety during the
withdrawal period.
Alcohol acts as a central nervous system depressant. It is believed to
work in a similar way to benzodiazepines (which are drugs that are
used to treat anxiety). Therefore, withdrawal from the drug leads to
increased anxiety.
