Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that alcohol affects various functions of the body and brain, but its initial impact is often on cognitive processes rather than purely physical functions.
Recognize that judgment and decision-making abilities are controlled by the brain's frontal lobes, which are highly sensitive to alcohol's effects.
Recall that motor coordination, heart rate, blood pressure, and digestive system functions are also influenced by alcohol but typically after cognitive impairments begin.
Identify that the first function alcohol typically affects is the brain's ability to make sound judgments and decisions, which can lead to risky behaviors.
Conclude that among the options given, judgment and decision-making abilities are the first functions impaired by alcohol consumption.
