Booze isn't placebo, as well all know...

Yeah, it's not an actual neurological effect. You put a couple drops under your tongue and there's an immediate numbing and loosening of the salivary glands. Like I said, it wears off quickly. But sometimes it's enough to allow a person who is already trying to stave off momentary stress enough opportunity to regain control. It won't do anything for someone with a genuine panic condition, but then again neither will a big swig of brandy.
