Effects on the Body
0.01-0.05 you might notice this physiological change, along with feeling more relaxed?
slightly increased heart rate
What effect of alcohol makes drivers slower to react to hazards or traffic signals, increasing the risk of running red lights.
Slower reaction time
This common roadside device estimates blood alcohol concentration by converting alcohol in the breath into an electric current or chemical reaction.
Breathalyzer
This gender is responsible for 77% of impaired driving accidents in Canada.
Men
Between 0.05–0.08 BAC, your coordination and reaction time are affected, and this behavioral change may make you act with?
poor judgment or overconfidence
Alcohol can cause this mental effect, leading drivers to make risky decisions such as speeding or ignoring stop signs.
Poor judgement
This device is more advanced than a standard Breathalyzer, uses infrared spectroscopy, and its printed results are often used in court.
Intoxilyzer
Drivers in this age range are most often involved in impaired driving accidents, making up 44% of all such incidents.
20-34 years old
At a BAC of 0.08–0.15, speech and balance are impaired, and these emotional effects are also common.
confusion and emotional swings
When under the influence, this physical effect makes it difficult to steer or stay in your lane.
Reduced coordination
This portable device uses fuel cell technology to provide immediate digital BAC readings, often for roadside screening.
AlcoSensor
This province has one of the lowest rates of impaired driving accidents in Canada, at just 103 per 100,000 people.
Onatrio
When BAC exceeds 0.15, severe physiological effects occur, including this life-threatening symptom.
slowed breathing or possible unconsciousness
Alcohol can affect this sensory ability, causing double or blurred vision, which may prevent drivers from seeing signs, crosswalks, or pedestrians.
Impaired vision
All three alcohol testing devices share this limitation, meaning their results can be influenced by factors like temperature, maintenance, or substances in the mouth. What would be more accurate?
A blood test
In Canada, these regions experience the highest rates of impaired driving accidents, between 1,000 and 3,000 per 100,000 people.
