This is due to the central nervous system (CNS) effects being mediated by a variety of actions of the neurotransmitters. The complex interplay is located between the excitatory and the inhibitory systems (C McIntosh, J Chick.2014). As various neurotransmitters are in control of ethanols actions it is in-charge of the frontal lobe which offer diverse actions officiated with each prescribed or illicit drug.
