What are depressants? Not all depressants are illegal; there are also legal depressants prescribed by doctors to patients who are in need of medications that relieve stress, subdue anxiety and induce sleep. One popular legal type that doesn't need a doctor's prescription is alcohol. Alcohol only becomes an "illegal" substance when it is purchased and drank by minors.
Alcohol is a class of molecules that includes propyl alcohol, ethanol, methanol, and others. Ethanol is the type that is safe for people to drink; the other types of alcohol are toxic if consumed. Alcohol is considered to be a healthy tension reducer if taken in moderation.
