What effect can alcohol have on a driver?

Correct answer

Euphoria or false confidence without improving driving ability.

It can cause euphoria or false confidence and reduce risk perception. It is a central nervous system depressant even if initial disinhibition seems stimulating; it does not become a depressant only as the dose rises. It can affect vision, coordination and judgement and delay reactions, increasing risk. This does not mean every person shows exactly the same effects.
