Alcohol and medication for autism???

Strange one for a Wednesday afternoon. 
so, I find when I drink alcohol it numbs my brain to my usual thoughts, I know it makes me more out going and has made me do crazy things in my life, what I’m wondering is, is there any medication that quietens the brain like alcohol does? So just quiets the noise and helps to switch off a bit? I find when I drink even if a few it helps my brain to switch off, I only have 4 cans once maybe twice per week with a space in between as I know this could end up as a problem but if there is anything else I would stop drinking altogether 

thanks people

    Yeh if you feel as though you have or may have a problem with alcohol in the future you can seek medication for alcohol cravings called Acamprosate which basically acts like alcohol in the sense that it affects the same chemicals in the brain to make you feel like not craving alcohol. It is basically replacing the alcohol with a safer and non addictive tablet. Other than that as martin said CBD is available to buy over the counter however it can be expensive.
