Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: is usually not aware that they are taking more risks while driving.
Alcohol gives you a false sense of confidence. People who have been drinking underestimate its effects, think they have it under control, and perceive less risk than there actually is, so they take more risks without realizing it. At low alcohol levels, they may even think they drive better.
