You're probably afraid that he may hurt you or hurt himself.. It is okay to feel that way but you might want to consider getting him help..

This might be a trigger for your attacks as you are describing it. I would say speak with your doctor for expert guidance to get you expert care.

Maybe because you are scared that he might hurt you / physically lash out when he's drunk. Maybe he's done it before, and that trauma has scarred you?

Your fathers drinking problem affects your panic attacks because he's your father. You always expect your father to be there for you and it's difficult to see him going through something that difficult.

Any time someone has addiction, the people around them are affected negatively. For one you're worried about him. If there are ways he behaves that are unpleasant then that would also contribute to it.
