alcohol effects your brainm through formadahyde "overload" basically and the transmitters involved in this are : gaba and dopamine and to some extended, glutamate and the NMDA receptors.

gaba is the benzo is alcohol, while dopamine is the high you get from a lot of alcohol..

whats interesting is certain benzos do the same thing, albiet, a little more selective. triazolobenzodizepines(sp) are xanax, halicon, midizolam, and all those really short acting ones that can make you happy, and benzo-high, very similar to being drunk without drinking.

Now, if you take klonopin or valium or most normal benzos, youll only get the gaba part of the drunk. Its true, though, that they somehow effect the other neurotransmitters somewhere along the line, but not in the same way as above.
