Prozac and Alcohol?

Hi there, I've been on 40 mg Prozac for about 4 months and before that on 30 mg for 2 months. It has really been helping me overall with my anxiety, but in the last few weeks I've been dealing with some big life changes that have been a bit difficult.

I wasn't ever a really heavy drinker and cut down this year because of my anxiety. In the last few months even when I have 1 glass of wine or a beer, I find myself spiraling into obsessive thoughts or an overwhelming feeling of sadness. It also gives me a headache too while drinking (not just a hangover after) which I hadn't experienced before.

Has anyone experienced this on Prozac? Side effect that goes away or drinking really something I should just avoid for the time being?
