Final answer:

Alcohol is classified as a depressant and depresses the central nervous system, leading to disinhibition and other effects.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alcohol is classified as a depressant, not a stimulant. When consumed, alcohol depresses the central nervous system (CNS), including the cerebral cortex, brainstem, and medulla. This depression leads to a variety of effects, including disinhibition, sedation, impaired motor control, and reduced behavioral control.
