Does Alcohol depress breathing like process as Opiates?

Or is it totally differen't?Does Alcohol depress breathing like process as Opiates?
Alcohol and Opiates are both classified as depressants, and so will both depress your respiration rate/volume. Alcohol tends to give somebody a lift more time to slow your breathing due to the simple sugars inherent in its molecular structure. In other words, you take a short-lived "sugar buzz" from alcohol that you don't get from opiates, which is why you catch that energy surge when you first start drinking.
Otherwise, I'm not sure that there's any physiological difference. Opiates might be paid you feel close to you're breathing slower and easier, simply because they imitate the shape of feel-good chemicals which your body produces readily and so are less of a shock to your system.
Alcohol poisons the liver and brain. No selective effect on the breathing.
