Correct answer
Yes, tunnel vision can occur.
When alcohol is consumed, changes in vision can occur, such as tunnel vision. Alcohol affects a driver's perception of their visual surroundings in several ways. One of the most common changes is a reduction in the field of vision, meaning the driver may experience a narrower sense of vision, as if looking through a tunnel. This makes it harder to judge the distances and speeds of other vehicles, as well as to see traffic signs, traffic lights and other elements of the environment accurately.
