PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -Alcohol consumption is also thought to produce changes in speech production that are often described as “slurred speech.” Changes in speech production after alcohol consumption are often used by law enforcement personnel, bartenders, and others as general indices of motor impairment due to alcohol intoxication.

Detailed explanation-2: -Explanation: Alcohol suppresses the sympathetic nervous system, and prevents behavioral inhibition. It also slows physical processes like reflexe, speech, and muscle coordination.

Detailed explanation-3: -Alcohol affects reaction time while driving because it slows your brain’s ability to process information. If you encounter a sudden change in environment or unexpected hazard on the road while driving after a few drinks, you won’t be able to react in time and cause an accident.

Detailed explanation-4: -Studies have shown that increasing BAC is also associated with a decreased reaction time. One study pointed to an average decreased reaction time of 120 milliseconds-just over a tenth of a second-associated with a BAC level of 0.08, the legal limit in the United States.
