It definitely isn't abnormal to experience excessive anxiety when others who are 17 or younger are drinking around you. It puts you in the position of 'peer pressure' in which you feel you are supposed to drink so that you can 'fit in' to the group. It also puts you in the position where you could get an MIP (minor in possession) charge. So, no, it's not abnormal to have anxiety in this type of situation.

What is GAD and panic attacks?

GAD is Generalized Anxiety Disorder. It's "generalized" because the source of the anxiety cannot be identified. It use to be called "free-floating" anxiety. This just means the patient has anxiety but neither the doctor nor the patient can figure out what exactly is causing the anxiety. A panic attack can be caused by the GAD condition. A panic attack is not what people generally imagine. It manifests in different forms in different people. It is a severe stress reaction, usually accompanied by hysterical crying or a sense of loss of control. Panic attacks usually only last for a few minutes but I have seen them last for up to an hour.
