I Wouldn't Make A Habit Of It But...
I have found that if I have a cocktail late in the evening...I have a lovely sleep when I go to bed so maybe there is something about having what is often called a "night cap!" Had I not been interrupted I had already managed to sleep for about 4 hours.
I tried a cocktail called a Top Banana. The amounts I give you fills a Hi- Ball Glass and the ingredients I am about to mention are considered to be one of the lowest regarding alcohol content and one considered worth trying if you are a novice at making cocktails.
1 Shot of Vodka
1 Shot of Peach Schnapps
2 Shots of Milk
A medium sized Banana
Some Ice
Blend for 10 seconds at low speed and then 10-30 seconds at hi speed and serve up...
I found it gave a warm after feeling in the throat and chest, you may find that you like it better after the initial first taste. I did...and would consider having it again...Mum tried it and wasn't keen so I gave her a banana milk shake with no alcohol :-) She liked that! And really that what Top Banana is...a milk shake with added booze...

Sounds disgustingly delicious...maybe swap the milk for cream/icecream.
Plus with the banana it makes a decent snack so no need for a big dinner so you sleep soundly! I find I'm the same after 10 pints...(not anymore!)
Span LOL!
That's a good point regarding substituting other ingredients...and equally though it's good to still eat solid food...what you can pack into a drink! As you suggest it can be a snack.
Really you are doing only what those companies that make expensive diet suppliments are doing. And it is so easy.
And it was pointed out to me that this weekend the Observer newspaper was promoting making cocktails at home so maybe it's becoming fashionable again(was it ever out of fashion?)

I was given a bottle of schnapps for Christmas and didn't know what to do with it - thanks Gildy!
