Jerry, who is a fairly conservative person, stopped at a bar on the way home from work to have a couple of drinks with his friends. on the way home, he suddenly pulls into a retail store and buys a new 60-inch widescreen tv. which of the following is the most likely explanation for his behavior? a. the alcohol in the drinks resulted in him experiencing rem sleep. b. the alcohol in the drinks reduced his inhibitions and impulse control. c. the alcohol in the drinks stimulated the brain centers associated with pleasure. d. the alcohol in the drinks caused him to hallucinate.

The best answer choice for the question: Which of the following is the most likely explanation for his (Jerry) behavior?, would be, B: The alcohol in the drinks reduced his inhibitions and impulse control.

Explanation:

Alcohol is a depressant substance that reduces the activity of certain brain centers, including those that control and inhibit certain animalistic, irrational, and illogical behavior in humans. When it is taken, and depending on the way that a person´s system reacts to the amount of alcohol, or alcohol at all, in foods and drinks, the person may go as far as losing the possibility of rational thought and in instances, it can completely change the natural behavior in a person, explaining why sometimes people who are drunk become completely different from what they regularly are. In the case of Jerry, these two drinks with alcohol depressed his natural limitations and inhibitions, and turned him from the normal conservative person, into a sudden spendrift, who went for something that he would not have normally bought. This is why the answer is B.

The answer is B. The alcohol in the drinks reduced his inhibitions and impulse control most likely explains Jerry’s behavior.

EXPLANATION

An alcoholic drink is a type of ethanol drink. Ethanol typically produced by the fermentation of various sources of sugar like grains, fruits, and root vegetables. Alcohol consumption has seeped into our society deeply and played a significant role in many cultures. Some countries do ban alcoholic drinks, and some culture finds it offensive to take alcoholic drinks although alcoholic drinks are legal in many parts of the world.  

Alcohol acts as a depressant when consumed, in which lower doses can cause euphoria or happiness, lower anxiety and improving one’s sociability. Higher doses, however, can cause drunkenness, unconsciousness or even death. It is a well-researched phenomenon that long-term alcohol usage can lead to abuse, cancer, and over-dependence in alcohol, commonly known as alcoholism.

Alcoholic drinks like wine, distilled spirits, beer, and many other alcoholic drinks have ethyl alcohol. Consumption of ethyl alcohol is generally safe and has both short term and long term effects. Short term effects include physiological and psychological effects on the user.  

The effects of alcohol can be seen based on the amount of alcohol a person consumes and the concentration or the percentage of alcohol in the drink over a period of time. Typical effects of low blood alcohol concentration (BAC of 0.03-0.12%) are an improvement in mood, possibly causing euphoria, higher self-confidence and sociability, lower anxiety, impaired judgment, and fine muscle coordination. Jerry probably read this answer and just realized 60-inch flat-screen TV is a product of impaired judgment.
