After two beers at a party, Alex says, "I feel fine, so I'm OK to drive." Why is that feeling not a safe guide?
Correct answer: Alcohol affects judgment first, so a drinker cannot tell how impaired he is
Why
Alcohol slows reaction time, blurs vision, and makes it harder to judge distance, speed and the moves of other vehicles. Like a sunburn, its effect is often felt only when it is too late. Plan ahead: use a designated driver, a cab or public transportation when alcohol will be served.
