Many people do: There can be phases of effect when drinking alcohol, and these parallel one's tolerance to the drug. Often the first drink is relaxing, and may bring about feelings of sociability and joviality. The effects of additional drinks are variable . . . But in most people lead to feelings of depression and moroseness as the night wears on. Overall, alcohol is a CNS depressant; can even cause coma.
