When you take a few sips then your initial reaction time gets faster. You become more alert and more talkative but after drinking more your reaction rates gets slower and slower. Your vision becomes blurry and your balance is all over the place.

The consumption of alcohol not only increases a driver's reaction time, it also impairs drivers' judgment.

Until the person's judgment says, "REACT!!!", the reaction time hasn't even started, yet.
