Alcohol is a drug that depresses the central nervous system As a depressant it acts like an anesthetic and slows the activity of the brain and the spinal cord The driver experiences reduced tension and lowering of hibitions The result of this is that the drinker often becomes more active talkative and loud and may say or do things that are not a part of their normal behavior pattern As the amount of alcohol creases vision becomes impaired depth perception becomes distorted and the pupils of the eyes react more slowly to light variations Coordination deteriorates and the ability to solve problems is reduced as is the ability to recall past events or learned knowledge The mind simply can’t manage to pull it all together and as a result the person may exhibit poor judgment If enough alcohol is consumed drowsiness and eventually sleep will result These effects will occur differently in each person Any time you put a person with lowered inhibitions in a car their driving ability is greatly effected A normally careful driver may become overly aggressive etc We have been told for years and years that drinking and driving don’t mix It still doesn’t and it never will!
