What are some potential signs of intoxication?

  1. Slurred and varied speech

  2. Decreased volume of speech

  3. Improved coordination

  4. Carefulness with money

The correct answer is: Slurred and varied speech

Some potential signs of intoxication include a decrease in coordination and motor skills, inhibited judgment and decision-making, and an increase in talkativeness and slurred speech. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because being intoxicated often results in the opposite effects. Intoxication can cause one's speech to become more difficult to understand and coordination and fine motor skills to be impaired. Additionally, being intoxicated can lead to reckless spending and impulsive behavior with money rather than carefulness.
