How does alcohol affect driving ability?

Correct answer

Negatively, although the degree of impairment varies between individuals.

Alcohol impairs driving ability, although its effects vary between individuals and circumstances. It can reduce attention, precision and coordination and increase reaction time. Any feeling of confidence or security it creates is false: it does not mean driving is safer or that abilities have improved.
