How does alcohol affect the central nervous system?

  1. It stimulates it, making it more efficient

  2. It has no significant effect

  3. It depresses it, impairing functions such as judgement and reaction times

  4. It improves coordination and focus

The correct answer is: It depresses it, impairing functions such as judgement and reaction times

Alcohol is a depressant, meaning it slows down the central nervous system. This can lead to impairments in judgement and reaction times, making it dangerous to engage in activities such as driving while under the influence. Option A is incorrect because alcohol does not stimulate the central nervous system, it has the opposite effect. Option B is incorrect because even though small amounts of alcohol may not have a significant effect, larger amounts can have serious consequences. Option D is incorrect because alcohol consumption can actually impair coordination and focus.
