Tequila

Question
I'm a substance abuse counseling student and this topic came up in class last night: Is tequila a stimulant or depressant? The general consensus seems to be that it is a depressant, like all alcohol. But one student said it's the only alcohol that isn't.

After looking online I'm getting mixed messages. I'm not convinced that it's a stimulant at all but I'd like to know for sure. Thanks for your help.


Answer


Hi Rese,



I go with the theory that alcohol is a depressant -- and tequila is no exception.



But for some people, taken is small amounts, tequila can be stimulating.



Nevertheless, tequila is an alcoholic drink and would be classified as a depressant.



I hope this information is helpful,

Thank you for asking AllExperts,



Enjoy your courses
