Many people do not consider alcohol to be dangerous or addictive. Alcohol decreases the ability of a person to be in present time and aware of their surroundings. At first a person who has been drinking may appear to be more self-confident or daring, but what actually happens is that their attention span shortens and their judgment is decreased.
Physically they may look flushed and their eyes may be red and glassy. As the individual continues to drink they become sleepy, have trouble understanding or remembering things, and begin to easily lose their balance. Their vision becomes blurry and they become confused, dizzy and may stagger. Many people that drink become highly emotional or aggressive. The more the individual continues to drink the more sever these effects actually become.
