It is a depressant, also the weird thing about alcohol is how it causes unpredictable effects. For example, some people become very irritable and angry after drinking alcohol...or the unnerving effect those couple of sips of beer had on me that I mentioned above (terrible anxiety).

The high sugar content in alcohol might be partly responsible for some of its effects.
Thanks for this!
