Answer:

Depressant.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alcoholism is a disease in which the body becomes dependent on ethanol. It is characterized by a constant desire to consume alcohol. There is no control over the amount of alcohol consumed, leading to multi-day drinking processes. If, for some reason, alcohol consumption is stopped (money runs out, health deteriorates), withdrawal symptoms develop - from sweating to alcohol psychosis, for example. In more severe cases, alcoholic psychosis can be fatal. There is a clear link between oxidative damage and inflammation and alcohol-related diseases such as brain dysfunction, musculoskeletal disorders, lung changes, increased severity of infections, malnutrition and cardiovascular disease or cancer.
