IntoxicationQuestion 44 of 80
Which sequence best reflects how signs of intoxication often progress as BAC rises?
a.Passing out first, then talkative
b.Perfect coordination throughout, then sudden collapse
c.Lowered inhibitions and talkativeness, then impaired judgment, then loss of coordination and reaction time
d.No signs until legally drunk, then all at once
Explanation
Intoxication often begins with lowered inhibitions and talkativeness, moves to impaired judgment, and then to visible loss of coordination and slowed reactions. Recognizing the early stages lets a server intervene before a patron is dangerously impaired. Waiting for the final stage is far riskier.
