No, Beta Blockers are not classfied as benzos though sometimes they are used in conjunction to treat alcohol withdrawal.

Beta blockers, according to Medicine Net, "...are drugs that block norepinephrine and epinephrine (adrenaline) from binding to beta receptors on nerves." Whereas "Benzodiazepines enhance the activity of GABA, effectively slowing nerve impulses throughout the body..." according to the Center for Substance Abuse Research.
