Alcohol is yummy. I don't drink looking for relaxation or some "state change." In fact it totally bums me that my body betrays me when I drink because I LOVE drinks. If I could take a pill and not get buzzed or drunk, I'd take it.
Anyway, alcohol is a central nervous system depressant. Just google "alcohol effects physical" and you can learn all you care to know about the biology.
I don't know why people seek to get wasted. I always hated that part.
