There are a lot of factors in this question.... depending on how much and frequently one is drinking and whether one is taking medications, etc...
but one thing I know is that alcohol can cause delirium tremens, a form of psychosis, in alcoholics... or I guess anyone who is using excessively large amounts continuously. I am inferring from this that alcohol has at least some psychomimetic effects depending on usage.
Some people it helps to relax the mind while others may become disinhibited and more agressive, the alcohol allowing their mind (and perhaps psychosis?) to take over/ run free? Just some thoughts.
