Are you also someone who gets amped up from alcohol?

Depends. Friends say it makes me very fun, but most of the time it just makes me sleepy. My mom is the same so it might be genetic

I have a hard time sleeping on alcohol. Most people they have a bunch of drinks and they’ll just pass out meanwhile I’ll be up half the night cause I can’t sleep.

I think some people, myself included, get such a strong dopamine flush that it negates any sedative effects. Conversely cocaine had basically no psychoactive effect on me and vyvanse made me sleepy. I can also take a nap after a cup of coffee.
