What is the effect of alcohol consumption on functions of the body?

A

Alcohol has an adverse effect, especially as altitude increases.✓ Correct Answer

B

Alcohol has little effect if followed by an ounce of black coffee for every ounce of alcohol.

C

Small amounts of alcohol in the human system increase judgment and decision- making abilities.

Explanation

AIM 8-1-1 explains that alcohol impairs the body's functions and that its effects are magnified at altitude, where even small amounts reduce tolerance to hypoxia. Coffee does not counteract alcohol, and small amounts impair rather than improve judgment.
