It has no effect
It impairs judgment
It enhances reflexes

The correct answer is: It impairs judgment

Driving under the influence of alcohol has a significant impact on a person's judgment. Alcohol acts as a depressant on the central nervous system, affecting cognitive functions and impairing the ability to make sound decisions. Impairment in judgment can lead to overestimating one's abilities, misinterpreting situations, and reducing the ability to recognize danger. This diminished capacity to judge situations accurately can result in increased risk-taking behavior and poor decision-making while driving, contributing to a higher likelihood of accidents and dangerous driving maneuvers. Understanding the impairing effects of alcohol on judgment is crucial for promoting safe driving practices and reducing the incidence of alcohol-related accidents on the road.
