Explanation
Remember that even a single drink of alcohol can affect your driving. Alcohol slows your reflexes and reaction time and impairs your judgment. It reduces your ability to see clearly and makes you less alert. Be aware that while not all beverages contain the same amount of alcohol, the average 'standard' drink of beer, wine, or liquor contains approximately the same amount of alcohol. For example, all of the following drinks have roughly the same alcohol content: 5 ounces of wine (12% alcohol), 12 ounces of regular beer (about 5% alcohol), and 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits (about 40% alcohol).
