What this does then is it paralyzes you because your motor neurons. You send the command to your arm to stand, to lift up. It doesn't work. You send the command to your leg to move. It doesn't work. The motor neurons are deactivated and then, because the way you breathe is through motor neurons, you then die.
There's alcohol. Alcohol is inhibitory. Now, this may be puzzling to people. It's mildly paradoxical because you may be thinking, alcohol is not inhibitory.
