Question:

Does gin have depressive qualities?

So many people tell me gin makes people cry, of course it does, doesn't anything alcoholic have a reputation of doing that? What makes gin so different? Is it anything to do with juniper berries?

yes any one that is depressed drinks gin

Over-indulging in any type of alcoholic beverage will cause depression over time, but Gin by itself will not make you cry.

Alcohol is a depressant. Therefore, since gin contains alcohol, it to would be a depressant. However, certain people react differently to certain ingredients in liquors. For example, I know people who are "violent" while drinking dark liquors so they drink clear, and vice versa. Thus, the person's makeup would most likely be the cause of varying degrees of depression, with gin being no exception.

Yes I think "Mother's ruins" has that affect. It maybe the juniper that dose it.

Alcohol is a nervous system depressant. It does not make you clinically "depressed". Just as amphetamines is a nervous system stimulant. It doesn't make you "happy".

any kind of alchohol is a depressant when drunk in excessive quantities

As a numner of people have said, any type of alcohol is a depressant - if you drink enough of it. The kicker though is that in smaller quantities it's a stimulant - Hey that's great ... lets have a lot more!

Hence the saying - one's not enough, two's too many.

any booze is a depressant

All alcohol is a depressant, not just gin.

yes ,once you taste it your depressed because you spent money on it.
