Which statement about alcohol and driving is accurate?
Correct answer: A few beers affect your driving just as much as a few glasses of wine or shots of whiskey.
Answer options
- ASome people who drink are simply not affected by alcohol, no matter how much of it they have.
- BA few beers affect your driving just as much as a few glasses of wine or shots of whiskey. Correct
- CStrong coffee or a long walk in the fresh air can help a drinker sober up much faster.
Why
Standard servings of beer, wine and liquor contain about the same amount of alcohol, so what counts is how much you drink, not which drink you choose. Coffee and fresh air cannot speed up sobering, and alcohol affects everyone who drinks.
