Actually, yes they can be considered a barbiturate. Barbiturates are depressants that affect the central nervous system - guess what alcohol does...?
Depressants and alcohol both slow down the central nervous system, leading to relaxation, drowsiness, and impaired coordination. However, depressants are prescription medications that are typically used to treat anxiety and sleep disorders, while alcohol is a legal substance that is commonly consumed for recreational purposes. Both can cause similar effects such as dizziness, confusion, and slowed breathing, but depressants are generally considered to have a more predictable and controlled impact on the body compared to alcohol, which can vary greatly in its effects depending on factors like dosage and individual tolerance.
