It's called the rebound effect. You are drinking to lessen your anxiety and it works to the extent that while you are drinking you don't feel anxious. The problem is that alcohol is a depressant and when you stop drinking you are both depressed and sick from a hangover. Ie the drinking has rebounded on you and you actually feel worse than you did before drinking.
So, you probably need to talk to someone about your anxiety and why you are binge drinking! It's all totally curable and you don't need to feel so bad about yourself. The first step is to ask for help. It won't solve itself.

Matylane, that is exactky what I was like when I was young. My hangovers were so bad that I ended up in hospital more than once. Then I becames dependant on benzos to be able to tolerate the extreme anxiety during hangovers. This went on for years. Years of me saying never again, until finally one day, after many disastrous things something happened that terrified me so much, that I said never again, that was 15 years ago. I haven't had a drink in 15 years! One of the best things I have ever done!
Just ask if I can help in any way xx

Based on what you're saying, it appears it's only a matter of time until your alcohol habits cause an incident that will cause issues beyond just he physical and mental ramifications of your drinking. It's a matter of "when" this will happen as opposed to "if" IMO. I urge you to seek counseling so you can break the habit to avoid this from happening.
