Xanax turns off a different portion of the brain. It feels more like "nothing can bother me". If I've taken Xanax for my panic attacks, the house could be on fire and I'd be the dog with the coffee cup.

Alcohol always tends to feel like a cover up for emotions rather than a clearing out effect, hence why some people get emotional while drinking. Similar, but different at the same time.

IIRC they both act on GABA-A.

Alcohol also acts as an NMDA antagonist like ketamine or nitrous oxide, so the feeling is quite different from benzos
