Which of the following is a possible effect of alcohol on the human body?

Increases metabolic rate
Enhances motor skills
Slows metabolic rate
Boosts energy levels

The correct answer is: Slows metabolic rate

Alcohol has a depressant effect on the central nervous system, leading to a variety of physiological changes in the body. One of these effects is the slowing of the metabolic rate. When alcohol is consumed, it can interfere with the body's normal metabolic processes, as the liver prioritizes metabolizing alcohol over other functions. This results in a decrease in the overall metabolic rate, causing the body to burn calories less efficiently. In contrast, the other options suggest effects that alcohol does not promote. For example, alcohol does not enhance motor skills; instead, it typically impairs coordination and balance. It also does not increase energy levels; rather, it can lead to feelings of fatigue and decreased energy after initial consumption. Similarly, while certain substances may stimulate the metabolism, alcohol tends to do the opposite by hindering metabolic functions. Understanding these effects is crucial for responsible alcohol consumption and for passing a liquor license exam.
