Yes. Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant. That's what alcohol poisoning is: the alcohol depresses the nervous system until the life-sustaining functions cease (usually breathing, then heart). Fun, huh?

Yes, alcohol acts as a depressant on the central nervous system. It slows down brain function and can impair coordination, judgment, and reaction times. In high doses, it can lead to respiratory depression and even coma.
