Source? This is completely counter to my experience and everything that I know about alcohol

Neurogenic studies of alcohol addiction: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2607330/

Could you post a source that shows alcohol relaxes you?

[antonvs]

Alcohol is well established to have a sedative and depressant effect in addition to its stimulant effect - see e.g. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21560041

People commonly experience that effect as relaxation.

This doesn't substantiate your claim at all...

So you don't feel more relaxed after a drink?

Quite a few people become aggressive. I wouldn't consider alcohol universally relaxing. It might be universally an uninhibitor.
