Not especially clear on what you're asking, but methamphetamine hydrochloride is available by prescription.  The trade name is Desoxyn.\n\nAnd you asked what types of drug is methamphetamine...it is a central nervous stimulant.  Means it gets you going, rather than slows you down.\n\nJust so I can say I said so: if you are thinking of messing around with this stuff, don't.  I have seen it ruin life after life after life, and nothing good comes from it.  Ever.

Alcohol is a sedative drug. It is a CNS depressant that paradoxically seems to act as a stimulant by depressing the levels of judgement -- even to being able to tell how tired we are.\n\nThis sedating effect, reducing anxieties and inducing relaxation when taken in small quantities, has been valuable throughout the history of Western civilization. Problems occur when it is responded to with "if a little is good, a lot is better" outlook.\n\nWikipedia:\n"Note that many sedative agents are cross-tolerant with alcohol (meaning that these agents can be taken instead of alcohol to relieve withdrawal symptoms or to maintain the level of sedation provided by alcohol). A more general diagnosis than alcohol dependence is that of sedative dependence. Whether an individual uses alcohol or another sedative, if they meet the criteria above, the process is likely the same." (1)\n\nTranquilizer, drug, and alcohol comparison:\n"Minor tranquilizers seem to have direct depressant effects on brain areas that regulate wakefulness and alertness, very similar in effect to alcohol and sedative barbiturates. They enhance the action of receptors that inhibit central nervous system stimulation, and conversely, inhibit the action of receptors that stimulate the nervous system." (2)

Ethanol is an alcohol made from renewable  resources such as corn and other cereal grains, food and other beverage wastes  and forestry by-products. Ethanol-blended fuel substantially reduces carbon  monoxide and volatile organic compound emissions, which are precursors to  ozone.Â  The corn-based substance is added to gasoline blends to meet oxygenate  level requirements mandated by the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments and to raise the octane level.

Chemical properties:\nThe vapour can form explosive mixtures with air.\nFlammable liquid. Reacts violently with a wide range of oxidants. Also reacts with disulfuryl difluoride, phosphorous (III) oxide, platinum, and potassium tert-butoxide. Incompatible with acetyl chloride, bromide pentafluoride, and calcium hypochlorite.\n\nEthanol produces a variety of physiological and behavioral effects. The most prominent effect is referred to broadly as "intoxication". At low doses, users experience a mild excitement and become more talkative. This is accompanied by a decrease in perceived stress and anxiety and a mild euphoria. At higher doses individuals become cheerful, loud, boisterous and begin to lose self-restraint. Memory, concentration and insight become impaired, which is accompanied by incoordination and changes in sensory function. These effects are typically followed by sleepiness. At higher doses, subjects often experience nausea and vomiting, followed by lethargy and stupor.\n\nThe primary effect of ethanol on the central nervous system is as a depressant. Although the effects at low doses appear to be stimulatory, the increase in mood and behavior is the result of "disinhibition", the inhibition of normal inhibitions. In other words, behavior that is normally suppressed by fear or anxiety is released by the inhibitory effects of ethanol.\n\nChronic use of high doses of ethanol leads to changes in the brain and behavior. One of the first changes is tolerance, a decrease in the effects of ethanol. As a result of tolerance, higher doses of ethanol are necessary to achieve the same effects. Tolerance to ethanol is the result of several processes. First, the enzyme responsible for the destruction of ethanol in the liver, alcohol dehydrogenase, is upregulated by chronic use. The increased activity of this enzyme breaks down ethanol more rapidly, leading to decreased effects. This form of tolerance is known as metabolic tolerance, since the metabolism (or breakdown) of alcohol is decreased. However, metabolic tolerance does not completely explain the dramatic decreases in effects seen with chronic ingestion. In addition to changes in the metabolism of ethanol, there appear to be decreases in the neuronal response to this drug. With chronic use, the response of neurons to the presence of alcohol is diminished. This form of tolerance is known as "physiological" tolerance, since the physiology of the central nervous system appears to change in response to chronic alcohol.\n\nThe second major change seen in response to chronic ingestion of ethanol is physical dependence. Following chronic use, there are physiological changes that lead to a requirement for the drug. With the development of physical dependence, further administration of ethanol is necessary to avoid a physiological disturbance. This disturbance is known as a withdrawal (or abstinence) syndrome. The withdrawal syndrome for ethanol is severe and can be life-threatening. The symptoms of withdrawal are generally opposite the the acute actions of the drug. Thus, where the acute actions of ethanol are depressant, the withdrawal syndrome involves hyperexcitability. With lower levels of physical dependence symptoms include agitation, tremors, muscle cramps, nausea, vomiting, sweating and vivid dreaming. With higher levels, these progress to disorientation, confusion, hallucinations and seizures. Without treatment, a severe case of ethanol withdrawal often leads to death.

Sometimes.  Sodium pentathol is actually a relaxant that removes inhibitors from the brain...sort of like alcohol, but more potent.

None. They are two different compounds.\n\nIt looks like you want to compare a specific property of the alcohols. Please specify!

Alcohol and any sort of antidepressant dont mix. It hightens your reaction to the alcohol and can cause respiritory failure, cardiac issues and/or liver damage. Its better to look like an idiot than get really sick and prove that you are one!

LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) is one of the major drugs making up the hallucinogen class of drugs. Hallucinogens cause hallucinations—profound distortions in a person’s perception of reality. Hallucinogens cause their effects by disrupting the interaction of nerve cells and the neurotransmitter serotonin. Distributed throughout the brain and spinal cord, the serotonin system is involved in the control of behavioral, perceptual, and regulatory systems, including mood, hunger, body temperature, sexual behavior, muscle control, and sensory perception

I have a very detailed research report about Ethanol that I can email you. (Make sure you include your email address when you first contact me)\n\nI get hundred of emails daily.\nPlease include the word "ETHANOL" in the subject.

Depending on how much ethanol spilled. Ethanol is the same alcohol that is in wine, beer and liquor. Spilling\na significant amount in water will make the occupants drunk.\nSpilling a really significant could make them dead.\n\nAs far as ethanol giving off less CO2 than burning gasoline - it may give less. However, there is a tremendous quantity of CO2 given off in the fermentation process. I am curious whether there is any real green-house gas advantage.

Alcohol is a depressant that is to say it decreases the transmission of a nervous impulse at the synapse between neurons. Alcohol makes the membrane permeable to potassium instead of sodium inhibiting the production of an action potential needed for the transmission of a nervous impulse.\nOn the other hand, coffee is a stimulant which is the exact opposite of a depressant. Stimulant increases the permeability of a membrane to sodium producing the action potential and enabling the conduction of a nervous impulse.\nSo coffee being a stimulant and alcohol a depressant they counteract each other.

Only pot and coke. I stopped though. Made me slow and I'm not as fun as I used to be. I hate myself. The first time I tries pot, I think it was laced with some other shit. Big mistake. Don't do drugs, it's a waste of time. Does alcohol count as one of the drugs you want to know?
