• D. They will be socially condemned for their behaviour.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Their impaired motor skills endanger everyone on the road.

Alcohol affects signals in the brain, slowing down sensory perception, judgement, and co-ordination. A person under the influence of alcohol may not be able to drive attentively. This way, he or she runs the risk of getting into an accident and injuring others as well as themselves.
