Two short-term effects of alcohol and how they affect safety:
Poor coordination and slower reaction time – Alcohol affects how quickly your brain and body respond. This can make activities like walking near roads, swimming, or driving with others unsafe because you might not react properly to danger.
Poor decision-making and judgment – Alcohol can cause people to take risks they normally wouldn’t, such as getting into fights, accepting a lift from someone who’s been drinking, or sharing personal information online. This increases the chance of harm or unsafe situations.
