Impaired Judgment
The most obvious effect of alcohol is that it makes people drunk, and drunk people often do things they later regret. A 2008 National Institutes on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism study used medical imaging equipment to get a glimpse of the inebriated brain in action. Subjects who drank alcohol showed less activity in the danger-detecting parts of their brains than subjects who drank a placebo. Drunk driving and risky sexual behavior are just two common ways people endanger themselves and others under the influence of alcohol.
