How Alcohol affects us?
Alcohol impairs several of the mental and physical abilities needed for day to day activities, including the ability to reason, make sound judgments, and focus. It also alters the way we perceive colors and depth. It weakens inhibitions and slows down the areas of the brain that control our movements and reflexes. This means we may not be able to react to danger in time. Our heartbeat and breathing may be impaired.

Modern Days Problem: How does alcohol affect mental and physical abilities needed for driving?
There are several ways to measure alcohol’s effects on the brain. As your BAC increases, your cognitive and motor skills are affected. Your judgment and self-control are impaired. Impaired judgment and self-control are essential for driving safely. Drinking too much can impair these processes, which can lead to speeding, increased crash risk, or even a suspended driver’s license. In addition to the legal ramifications of driving under the influence of alcohol, driving while intoxicated can cause accidents, cause driver’s license suspensions, and speeding.
As alcohol affects the brain, it reduces almost every aspect of our cognitive abilities. Among these is judgment. The impaired judgment can prevent a drinker from realizing they’re drunk because they don’t feel it. This impairs our ability to drive safely, and can lead to speeding and a higher risk of crash. We should remember that a driver’s license suspension is the result of a single accident caused by an alcohol-related driving situation.
