Alcohol is produced through the fermentation of sugars by yeast. It acts as a depressant in the body, slowing functions like heart rate, breathing, and reflexes. Short term effects of alcohol include confusion, drowsiness, and impaired motor skills, speech, and vision as it affects the brain and causes blood vessels to expand. The liver processes alcohol into water and carbon dioxide, but drinking too much too quickly can cause intoxication as the alcohol circulates before being processed. Vomiting may occur if the stomach rejects the poison. Driving under the influence of alcohol significantly increases the risks of accidents and is a leading cause of death among teenagers.
