Which of these is one of the earliest effects of alcohol on driving ability?
- A.Alcohol improves reaction time at low levels
- B.Alcohol impairs judgment first, so drivers overestimate their ability and take more risks

- D.Alcohol has no effect until the legal limit is reached

B. Alcohol impairs judgment first, so drivers overestimate their ability and take more risks
