Is ghb a depresant or stimulant?
GHB has effects characteristic of both a depressant and a empathogenic stimulant. The drug acts on two distinct receptors in the brain: the GABAB receptor, and the GHB receptor. Its action on the GABAB receptor produces a powerful sedative, CNS inhibitory effect similar to alcohol or benzodiazepines. Through its action on the GHB receptor it exerts a excitatory effect on the brain leading to subjective effects of empathogenesis similar to MDMA. Its influence on this receptor is also responsible for the convulsions observed in GHB overdoses. GHB's effects are said to resemble a combination of alcohol and ecstasy.

Alcohol is a depressant and caffeine is a stimulant. Drinking both at the same time overloads the central nervous system. Not to mention how bad energy drinks are for you period. According to the National Institute of Health, an energy drink and alcohol combination carries a number of dangers: High levels of caffeine and stimulants mixed with alcohol produce chronic headaches, impair judgment, create shortness of breath, dizziness, disorientation and can boost heart rate and blood pressure to dangerous levels. Since energy drinks are stimulants and alcohol is a depressant, the combination of effects may be dangerous because they are sending mixed messages to your nervous system. The stimulant effects can mask how intoxicated you are and prevent you from realizing how much alcohol you have consumed. Fatigue is one of the ways the body normally tells someone that they've had enough to drink. The stimulant effect can give the person the impression he or she isn't impaired. No matter how alert you feel, your blood alcohol content or BAC is the same as it would be without the energy drink. Once the stimulant effect wears off, the depressant effects of the alcohol will remain. In addition, there currently is no demonstrable research evidence that these combo drinks do anything to reduce the negative effects of motor coordination and visual reaction times. - Both energy drinks and alcohol are very dehydrating (the caffeine in energy drinks is a diuretic). Dehydration can hinder your body's ability to metabolize alcohol and will increase the toxicity, and therefore the hangover, the next day.
