Alcohol is a depressant that initially reduces tension and lessen inhibition. It also impairs judgment, distorts speech and vision, decreases motor coordination and slows reaction time for several hours. Alcohol is usually ingested and spread quickly to the brain and vital organs. Alcohol can be addictive and can have long term effects such as brain and kidney problems.
