Can one night of heavy drinking cause these feelings?

Didn't know where to post this so I'll post here. I am not an alcoholic and do not drink very often. I just have an alcohol related concern.

2 weeks ago was my friends 21st birthday, so we all started drinking early (around noon), and we drank until about midnight (with breaks in between). I had about 15 to 17 drinks total and I have never drank that much in one day before, until then.

2 weeks later, I feel weird after that night. My anxiety is higher than usual, I feel more depressed, my appetite is much less, I feel very lethargic since then, also. I just want to know if this night of drinking had anything to do with how I've been feeling?

I turned 21 about 2 months ago. When I do drink, it's usually 2 drinks (about 2 days a week), with an occasional weekend night out with friends (about 4 to 10 drink). But, these kinds of nights are not every weekend (they're maybe once a month).

I personally believe that alcohol could be the cause of your feeling the way you do. A lot of teenagers come down with what you have, when they start drinking. It could just be then that your regular drinking habits are excelling? from what was otherwise your "morn"...

I'm not a doctor, but i don't think a single bout of drinking would cause anything worse than a nasty hangover the next day.  You can do a test  on yourself: don't drink ANY alcohol for a month.  See how you feel.  If your symptoms disappear in that month, you know the problem - alcohol.  If they continue, see your doctor for other possible causes.
