yes definitely alcohol is a depressant

absolutely

alcohol is a depressant

and if you are on any anti depressants, drinking can affect the way they work

Also would depend on the amount you are drinking, but it is definately a depressant and also effects sleep patterns.

Hiya tinkybelle, are you on anti Ds?
Alcohol will definately make you feel anxious and depressed if you are feeling down. Are you drinking too much atm? If so why do you feel the need, has something made you feel lower?
