Hannah Radar	Alcohol is a depressant, therefore, drinking it will increase any depression one already has--or start depression in someone who overindulges. Think of how alcohol helps one to chill out (as does pot, as do tranquillizers). In other words, these are like downers = depression. Drinking with depression is like a vicious cycle: One drinks due to depression + one becomes more depressed due to drinking. Believe me, I've not only learned this--I've seen it in my own family.

lazybird2006	Yes, it does, but with some people it makes then happy, some people become violent, it depends on your chemistry. It's all to do with the toxins in the alcohol, I believe. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Veston Pants	There are loads of physical reasons for this. Alcohol is a diuretic (makes you pi55 out more liquid than you take in) It interferes with sleep and keeps you from falling into a DEEP sleep (like eating cheese makes you dream) and flushes sugars and salts out of your system. All these factors will make one feel "a bit down" but many practitioners believe it is a psychological "come down" from the night before....you decide!! xxR Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

ReikiKev	yes, but you can always drink more Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

london lady	It only makes you feel depressed if you are depressed. Or if your life has things going in it which make you feel like your losing control or just generally unhappy. If your a happy person and you ain't worrying over nothing, (and you drink in moderation) then its fine, it dint make you depressed. But i dont agree with drinking alcohol. Its so bad for your body and it does start to have a BAD effect on you if you have to drink it everyday to be normal. Its worse than Cannabis. It should not be legal, that's my opinion anyway. ! Too many people close to me have died or are now living the consequences of choosing a booze filled life. Don't do it, it just ain't fair to the people around you, as well as yourself. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

logon17	Alcohol is a drug. It is a depressant., so feeling depressed would be natural. Alcohol depresses certain parts of the brain that control inhibitions, but when that wears off we often feel bad about what we have done. This is not unusual. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Nic	Yes, but only with vodka. My cousin is the same. The day after I've been drinking I get really anti-social and anxious and start thinking I'm a horrible person. After a day or so it goes away as it does with my cousin. But Vodka is the only culprit with me so I try not to drink it or no to drink too much. As for why, well alcohol is a depressant and it also kills brain cells whether these two factors cause the horrible effect I don't know. Also alcohol dehydrates you as well so all your brain cells are screaming out for water and so wont work as efficiently as they would normally. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

schatz101	based on experience, it doesn't really make you "depressed" -- it's just that after a few drinks, you let your guard down and you become more open than usual to how you truly feel... and sometimes, yes, it makes you realize that you're sad or lonely or depressed... ^_^ Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

There are stimulants and depressants and alochol is the best depressant...and when you're not feelin good, and you drink alcohol, it just ruins your mood...if you're hyper, you'll act crazy...but if you're not...then it will bring you down...I use it to help me sleep, if I'm depressed I'll drink a bit of wine to sleep....
