- A.It affects coordination first and judgment last
- B.Food in the stomach prevents all effects
- C.Experienced drivers are immune to small amounts
- D.Judgment and self-control are affected early, often before the driver feels impaired
Correct answer
D. Judgment and self-control are affected early, often before the driver feels impaired
Why
Alcohol dulls judgment and self-control from the first drink, which is exactly why impaired drivers believe they are fine. Skills like vision, coordination, and reaction time keep deteriorating as drinking continues.
