What are some of alcohol's effects on the human body?

  1. Enhances the body's fluids

  2. Depresses the central nervous system's functions

  3. Increases reaction times and judgment

  4. Improves hydration

The correct answer is: Depresses the central nervous system's functions

Alcohol is a depressant, meaning it slows down the central nervous system and can disrupt the communication between brain cells. This can lead to a variety of effects such as impaired coordination, slowed reaction times, and altered decision-making abilities. Option A and D, which suggest positive effects on the body's fluids and hydration, are incorrect as alcohol actually dehydrates the body and can cause fluid imbalances. Option C, which suggests alcohol can improve reaction times and judgment, is also incorrect as alcohol has the opposite effect.
