Alcohol

Explanation:

GABA is a neurotransmitter that works during alcohol consumption. This neurotransmitter reduces the energy level of a person and stay individual calm and relax. There are some drugs like Valium and Xanax which increase the GABA level in the brain. When GABA increased, alcohol does the same thing with this neurotransmitter.

When an individual take benzodiazepine will not take alcohol. It takes the heart level, pulse rate slow and person reached the level of danger. We hear many other things that affect our brain and body. Alcohol is depressant but indirectly it is a stimulant.
