Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Alcohol stimulates the release of GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), which is an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain. When released in large amounts, it causes the general inhibition of the nervous system associated with getting drunk. Serotonin and dopamine are neurotransmitters involved in mood and motivation, while acetylcholine is involved in muscle movement and memory.
