Is ethanol a depresant?

This is a question that turns out to be surprising complex: is alcohol a depressant a stimulant or what? And the answer is.......yes. The best answer (insert 30 minute discussion on neurochemistry) is that when blood alcohol level is rising (when the party starts) then alcohol acts as a stimulant. When BAL is falling (at closing time), then alcohol acts as a depressant. In all cases, alcohol impairs the critical decision making function of the brain, which explains a lot.
