Which is true regarding the presence of alcohol within the human body?

Why →
Alcohol and hypoxia have compounding effects. Alcohol reduces the body's ability to use oxygen at the cellular level, and the effects of altitude (lower partial pressure of oxygen) are more pronounced when alcohol is present. Even small amounts of alcohol can simulate the effects of several thousand feet of additional altitude.
The trap →
Alcohol impairs self-assessment. People consistently believe they are less impaired than they are. This makes Choice B dangerously wrong. Alcohol impairs judgment before it affects motor skills. Choice C reverses the sequence.
