Alcohol can have significant effects on feelings, perceptions and physiology. Although alcohol may give you a feeling of elation and aroused senses due to a lessening of inhibitions during the early stages of intoxication, alcohol is a depressant. It depresses the central nervous system--leading to slowed reactions, slurred speech and, ultimately, to unconsciousness and death.
