Alcohol lowers inhibition.Alcohol is never a nootropic because it enhances nothing, rather, it lowers functioning below the baselines neurotypical functioning. Apart from the fact that alcohol is a very serious poison to humans, the working rather diminishes the brain instead of boosting it.
Alcohol is also rather well tested. Already in the neolithic period they brewed alcohol. And most people still enjoy it's effect
But it seems the benefits average people extract from alcohol doesn't work as well with ADHD, at least according to this tiny study. I also suspect that ADHD people will be diverse, and not always react similar to various stimuli.

I find my focus improves on alcohol. Especially when hung over. The filtering for irrelevant information improves for me(I've tested this numerous times in competitions).
