DRIVERS TAKE GREATER RISKS AFTER DRINKING:
Alcohol tends to produce more aggressive behavior and, thus, poor decisions. It is possible for a driver to search
and evaluate correctly. Yet fail to execute properly. While alcohol affects thinking and judgment first, it also affects muscular
actions, whether in the eyes or arms and legs. After drinking, drivers tend to lose fine muscle control. This is often shown
by failure to maintain their vehicles in a straight line (weaving). When they brake, they brake too hard or not enough. When
they steer, they may steer too much or fail to return the wheel properly
