As people become more intoxicated, their reactions tend to do what?

Improve
Stay the same
Decrease
Slow down

The correct answer is: Decrease

As individuals become more intoxicated, their reactions tend to decrease. This outcome is due to the impairing effects of alcohol on the central nervous system, which can lead to slowed cognitive processing and impaired motor skills. The increasing level of intoxication affects a person's ability to quickly assess situations and respond appropriately. Reaction times can become delayed, making it challenging for intoxicated individuals to respond to sudden changes or emergencies on the road. This decreased capability significantly heightens the risk of accidents, as drivers may not react in time to avoid collisions or navigate safely through complex driving scenarios. Understanding this relationship between alcohol consumption and reaction time is crucial for promoting safe driving practices and minimizing the risks associated with impaired driving.
