Not quite. The answer is Alcohol affects your judgment and skill.

In your brain, alcohol affects those areas that control judgment and skill. This is one reason why drinking alcohol is so dangerous - it affects your judgment. Good judgment is important to driving. But in this case, judgment helps you to know when to stop drinking. Alcohol slows your reflexes and reaction time, reduces your ability to see clearly, and makes you less alert. As the amount of alcohol in your body increases, your judgment worsens and your skill decreases. You will have trouble judging distances, speeds, and the movement of other vehicles. Finally, you will have trouble controlling your vehicle.

Your license can be revoked if you earn 30 points in three years.
