In reply to the effects of beer/alcohol, equivalent medicine?, posted by Franz on March 6, 2004, at 12:30:45
OK i dont agree with all those posts saying benzos are an analogue of alcohol. It's simple: NO benzo can even come close to the : disinhibition,no social-anxiety,pro-sociability, and euphoria on top of that - after alcohol consumption. Alcohol works on many neurotransmitters and receptors - that's why its so hard to create a med working just like alcohol. Benzos work only on Gaba receptors. And they only make anxiety less pronounced (+Xanax for some is euphoric) and that's it.
The worst thing is: alcohol is a toxic drug. Too bad.
