Can you have a panic attack when you're drunk?

You can but it is very unlikely because the alochol makes you relaxed and with panic attacks you have anxiety.

I have suffered from panic attacks for 10 years and only have them when I am drunk

I have them frequently also and have never had one when I was drinking. It dulls your senses and calms you down (kind of the same thing prescription Xanax does).

You can have a panic attack at anytime. Sometimes when people are intoxicated they are in a more relaxed or altered state that can change the way they respond to certain situations.

Yes, one can have a panic attack while drunk. As alcohol is a depressant, depending on the persons tolerance for alcohol, a panic attack can be exacerbated when inebriated.
