I remember the first couple time I drank alcohol I used to run around and felt extremly energised.

Alcohol isn't a sedative. It's technically speaking a neurotoxic psychoactive drug and nervous system depressant. So basically it gets into your brain and affects it's function. So you shouldn't have any hyperactiveness but outside the brain your adrenal glands get stimulated by alcohol and releases adrenaline. The adrenaline gets you energized.
