Alcohol is a depressant... so when you have a little it makes you feel sleepy.... when you have a lot.... it makes you seem really awake and lively, but did you ever notice how a couple hours later your body begins to crash.... that's the effects of the alcohol... basically the alcohol makes you over tired... and in turn makes you even more tired when you stop drinking it.

A friend who was in Alcoholics Anonymous told me they noted a cyclic metabolism of alcohol that manifested itself in 4 hours of hyper and then 4 hours of depressed activity; this cycle repeats until the alcohol is out of your system. At low doses, I imagine there isn't enough to trigger the mass cycle (viz. the folks who drink one glass of wine at night to make them sleep). At higher doses, the body would have to kick into full metabolic mode and the cycles would be more apparent.

you are bang on with that, don't know why tho, 2 pints at lunchtime results in sleep by 5pm. 15 pints after 'bout 5pm results in home for the wee small hours

From the Pic of your kitty, it seems you have successfully made a good experiement. Yes it makes you hyper but then you crash.

because the alcohol skews your judgement and you don't really know how tired you are. that's why drunk people just pass out!

For me it's the opposite. In my case it's one martini, two martini, three martini, FLOOR!
