∙ 9y agoYes, alcohol is a depressant in the sense that it slows your cardiovascular system. It can also be considered a depressant because it relaxes you and reduces the intensity of stimuli.
However alcohol actually initially acts as a stimulant at low quantities. It may also simulate certain activities like talking and make you feel happy as opposed to depressed. Classifying drugs as stimulants or depressants generally oversimplifies their effects.
