Alcohol can slow down an individual's reaction time, making it more difficult for them to respond quickly to unexpected events or emergencies. This can impair their ability to make quick decisions and take appropriate action in critical situations, increasing the risk of accidents or injuries. It is important to avoid drinking alcohol before engaging in activities that require sharp reflexes and quick thinking.

The safety of the worker using drugs or alcohol is directly affected, as their impaired judgment and coordination can lead to accidents. Additionally, the safety of coworkers is compromised, as they may be exposed to hazardous situations resulting from the impaired worker's actions. Furthermore, the safety of clients, customers, or the public can also be at risk, depending on the nature of the job. Ultimately, substance use can create a dangerous environment for everyone involved.
Impaired drivers may experience slower cognitive processing and diminished motor skills, which can affect their overall reaction times. However, their reaction times might not always appear drastically different in straightforward situations, as they may still respond similarly but with less accuracy or effectiveness. This can lead to poor decision-making and an inability to react appropriately to unexpected events on the road, increasing the risk of accidents. Ultimately, while their response times might seem consistent, the quality and safety of their reactions are significantly compromised.
