Alcohol can cause paranoia, depression, anxiety....a multitude of not-so-pleasant side effects. I drink maybe once a year...because I used to feel majorly depressed the morning after having a few cocktails. Everyone of course reacts differently as well.
Alcohol, according to conventional wisdom, is a depressant. Yet, that doesn't fully explain alcohol's effects. People often drink to liven up a party, not mellow it out.
