Correct answer is A (brain) .
Explanation: Once alcohol enters the bloodstream it is quickly circulated to the brain ,which impairs judgment and reasoning, the most critical skills needed by drivers.
Because alcohol is a depressant of the central nervous system, it tends to make your bodily functions slow down when you consume it. As you increase the amount of a depressant you consume, your bodily functions will continue to slow down—until they stop completely!
Your heart and breathing will stop if you drink too much alcohol. Even if you're with friends, they may not notice if your breathing stops while you're passed out, especially if they're also impaired by alcohol at the time. By the time they sober up, you could be dead.
