Once alcohol consumed in moderation, its initial effects will act like a stimulant. But based on experimentation, some medical researchers will always claim that alcohol is often in the depressant category of drug types. This is because once consumed excessively, alcohol will act like tranquilizers and sedatives, since it will slow down the activity in the user’s central nervous systems.
