    I was referring to drugs that are downers not uppers.

    Alcohol in general has been knocking me out recently.

    The other day I had a single Ten Fidy over the course of an hour and fell asleep for 12 hours. Beer NEVER used to do that to me before. I'd be fine with drinking a 10% bomber by myself and only having a minor headache later in the day. Weird.

    Anything that alters your body's chemistry is a drug. Some have more obvious effects than others. Alcohol is odd because although its technically a CNS depressant it can also act as a stimulant in some cases. It really depends upon the individual person's body chemistry and metabolism. I for instance can drink one as stated before and feel nothing. But there is a peak and plateau for me. At some point I will fall asleep, but its after consuming a lot of beers. But should I drink just 2 or 3 and then stop, it will be all I can do to keep my eyes open. Because I assume my body has metabolized the alcohol and is burning up the calories which is what is making me sleepy. This is based half in science and half anecdotal.

    Any beer will make me sleepy if I drink enough of it.

    But when I was younger Brooklyn East IPA always made me very tired even after a few of them. Not anymore now that I drink IPAs like water.

    If I have worked all day and have a beer at 10ish I will only have one and be in bed by 11. If I am out at the bar or with friends I will be up all night

    When I stop drinking and throw in the towel, that's when I can get sleepy. It does not really matter on the style of beer and liquer I'm drinking.

    All beers, if I drink enough of them.
