Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant and it is the central nervous system which is the bodily system that is most severely affected by alcohol (see chart below). The degree to which the central nervous system function is impaired is directly proportional to the concentration of alcohol in the blood2.
However, the early effects of intoxication sometimes give the false impression that it is a stiumulant. People lose their inhibitions while having a light alcohol intoxication; making it seem like a stimulant. Alcohol is a central nervous system (CNS) depressant. Most people don't completely understand what a depressant is. Simply put it slows down the CNS by acting on the brains principal inhibitory neurotransmitter called GABA. As a result of activating GABA neuronal firing decreases leading to reduced activity in the brain.
