In this YouTube short, Dr. Tabatha Barber explains that alcohol, being a depressant, initially makes people feel better by reducing anxiety and lowering inhibitions, which encourages social drinking. She emphasizes that despite these short‑term benefits, alcohol negatively affects women’s sleep quality. The brief dialogue also includes a listener’s comment about feeling peace after a process, underscoring the contrast between the temporary relief alcohol provides and its longer‑term sleep disruption for women.

peace came, which was amazing. Um, and so yeah, it was great. It was a process, but it was so worth it.
Yeah, I hope every woman listening realizes the impact alcohol really does have on your sleep because it is a depressant. So first and foremost, we drink because it initially makes us feel better. It decreases our inhibitions, so so that we don't feel the anxiety and the fear that we normally fear. And so we're more apt to go out and be social and hang out with people, right?
