EFFECTS OF ALCOHOL ON THE HUMAN BODY

Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant. This means that it slows down the processes occurring in the higher centres of the brain resulting in such classical symptoms as loss of balance, poor coordination of the eyes and limbs, tunnel vision, and inability to be self-critical, with the result that the drunken driver genuinely believes himself to be driving better and more safely than he or she really does.
