Can anyone point me in the direction of just what happens neurologically from drinking? One hears of its CNS dampening properties and then one hears about the buzz created by dopamine? and then there's the affinity for opiod receptors. What's really going on with alcohol? Why does it make us feel so good?

Benzos may be a CNS depressant but they do NOT make me feel like dancing around the room singing sappy songs and then jumping into the sack. Why hasn't anyone figured out a way to duplicate alcohol's enjoyable effects minus the awful day-after ones?
