Alabama Boating License Practice Test

When operating a vessel, the consumption of alcohol can have harmful effects. Firstly, alcohol impairs cognitive functions and motor skills, leading to slower reaction times and poor decision making. This increases the likelihood of accidents, making option A the correct answer. Option B is incorrect as alcohol does not improve reaction time, and in fact, significantly impairs it. Option C is incorrect as alcohol consumption has no effect on fuel consumption. Option D is also incorrect as mentioned earlier, alcohol impairs cognitive functions and motor skills, thus having a significant effect on vessel operation.
