Benzos and alcohol definitely have some similarities ,but they are still way different. They both act on the neurotransmitter GABA,but they do it in completely different ways,and alcohol has strong effects on many other neurotransmitters that benzos don't (like dopamine).
Subjectively, than are definitely way different to me. Alcohol gives me a "buzz";benzos do not.
