Does alcohol intake affect driving?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Any alcoholic beverage, even if it has a low alcohol content and is taken in small amounts, negatively affects the driver. Alcohol causes an increase in reaction time, which means it takes longer to respond to any unforeseen event. As a consequence, the distance traveled from when the danger is perceived until the vehicle's controls are operated increases. This causes the total stopping distance to be much greater, increasing the risk of an accident.
