Best Answer

The judgment of a person under the influence of alcohol will be impaired, as will their physical coordination. The person can become a danger to themself, to others, or to property, because they aren't competent to judge whether their behaviour is risky.

They might attempt actions they'd never consider when sober.

This is why it is illegal to perform certain tasks - such as driving a motor vehicle - while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
