Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Alcohol speeds up reaction times
A
True
B
False
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -After receiving the highest level of alcohol, individuals were found to have an increased reaction time, more errors and an overall decrease of successful trials.

Detailed explanation-2: -Even if someone is drinking under the legal limit, their reaction time can still be affected. If someone has a 0.08% BAC (Blood Alcohol Concentration), their reaction rate is slowed by 120 milliseconds. That may not sound like much, but on an interstate, they may go an additional 12 feet before reacting.

Detailed explanation-3: -Alcohol As a Stimulant While alcohol is technically a depressant, when it’s first ingested, it acts very much like a stimulant. Alcohol triggers the brain to release dopamine, a neurotransmitter that provides energy, stimulation, and good feelings.
