Best Answer

Alcohol has a negative effect on the heart rate and thinking, perhaps also respiration. It makes the body and mind react slower. E.g if you have an overdose of alcohol your mind will lose control of your body and you can even have a nervous breakdown. Your heart will pump blood around much slower. This results in unclear thinking. As for respiration I don't know for sure but I think your body will respirate much less due.
