ethanol
Ethanol is a psychoactive sedative that primarily acts by enhancing GABAergic inhibition in the central nervous system. It also affects glutamatergic and dopaminergic systems, leading to typical effects such as relaxation, disinhibition, and coordination impairments. Chronic consumption can result in physical dependence and severe health consequences.
