Will a small drink before bed disturb my sleep?

[pandego]

Does taking a small alcolholic drink before bed disturb sleep? Somebody told me when the alcolhol wears off the body becomes wide awake.

Why would I want to do this in the first place? Is it meant to relax the body?

alcohol can interfere with your sleep patterns.

Depends how you react to it. If I drink a LOT sometimes around 6:00 am i wake up and find a tough time getting back to sleep. last night I had 4 beer and slept like I was dead for 10+ hours.

Whoever the hell told you the body's wide awake once the alcohol wears off has never had a hangover. In my experience dealing with drunks, they are even more sluggish once they come down for a period of time. Then they revert back to life as usual, which typically means fresh, cold drinks again.
