because the alcohal can affect your brain & Make you feel slightly sleepy & you won't be able to concantrate much.
Because alcohol (and other drugs) slows your reaction time down and reduces your sense of judgement. Operating a car while being slow and not thinking clearly will make you far more prone to cause an accident, which obviously isn't a good thing.
