Correct answer
Yes, for example, by altering perception of the traffic environment.
Alcohol consumption can significantly influence a driver's decision-making process. Alcohol affects the central nervous system, altering perception, judgement and coordination. This can lead to a mistaken perception of the traffic environment, such as underestimating the distance of other vehicles or the speed at which one is driving.
