Alcohol, the Brain and Behavior

Alcohol, the Brain and Behavior

Discusses the effects of alcohol on the brain and behavior, particularly in relation to driving. It explains how alcohol impairs judgment, perception, coordination, and vital functions by affecting different brain regions. Factors influencing blood alcohol concentration (BAC) include the amount consumed, body size, sex, and the rate of consumption. The video also debunks myths about sobering up and emphasizes the importance of allowing time for alcohol to metabolize before driving. Even at BAC levels considered legally impaired, individuals may not recognize their diminished capabilities.
