Alcohol can affect your driving in lots of ways.

It can impair your ability to control eye movement and see clearly.
It can affect your reaction time, because it slows down your reflexes.
And it will affect your concentration.
And there are more ways it can affect driving.

I hope this helped!

Drinking and driving is not recommended. You need your, hands, feet, brain, and eyes to maneuver around. Drivers must be alert and able to make judgments quickly. Drinking and driving can affect the driver in the following ways.

Judgment

The brain is the first part of the body that is affected by alcohol. Your ability to think clearly and plan ahead levels down to as low as .02%

Concentration

Alcohol can leave you concentrating on only one action. You need to stay focused on several things at once. Alcohol will interrupt your focus and might result to an accident. Many accidents are as a result of a short attention span or a distracted driver.

Vision

Alcohol, especially when taken in excess, will impair your eye movement. Not only will it slow down your eye muscle function but will also reduce peripheral vision.
