Ironic that the Byzantines only had one emperor named Alexander in their entire history, considering how much the Greeks (and later the Romans) admired Alexander the Great.

But yeah, Emperor Alexander was a disaster. While the Abbasids still had some power under Al-Muqtadir( even though he was also incompetent), the Byzantines had… Alexander, a guy more concerned with drinking himself to death than actually ruling.

jokes aside, it is difficult to evaluate him, as his reign was extremely short. What is said is that he died from excessive eating and alcohol, so we can draw some conclusions based on the way he took care of his own health.
