Yeah that seems weird to me. I would think prescription meds would be way riskier, especially if used for something other than their normal purpose. But even if they aren't, a small amount of alcohol sounds essentially risk-free.

Regardless, if a glass of wine is enough for you, it seems silly to go through the trouble of getting a doctor to diagnose you with anxiety and prescribe something for it. A lot more work for... what, really? Sure, if you actually do have a general anxiety problem, it's probably a good idea to get that checked out. But if you just get anxious in specific rare scenarios (like interviews), that seems like overkill.
