why does alcohol enhance mood if it’s a depressant

612 views

The question is all contained in the title. I see how alcohol is a depressant when one is in a bad mood. But if one is feeling happy or silly or excited, or at least you’re open to feeling that way, how is it that alcohol can enhance that, if it’s a depressant?

It doesn’t make you depressed. It depresses the speed of neuronal firing- i.e. it slows down your reactions. The word depressant doesn’t refer to your mood
