Just to be clear, I wasn't recommending GHB as something people should try over alcohol :) It was just the first drug name that came to mind that has some similar effects and that's quite popular as a recreational drug.

Gabapentin I don't think is nearly as popular, though a couple of years ago I was told that it had become a hugely popular drug in UK prisons for some reason.

Eh, why not? Anything's better than alcohol. Gabapentin is probably popular because it's like alcohol without the negative effects and it's non-addictive. It works as an antidepressant even though not accepted by the healthscam industry.
