Reaction time

The above clip shows two great tennis players playing with all they have. Both of them have trained and both of them have practiced. Over time their reaction time and their coordination has increased. To be able to react to a moving target and time when it is supposed to be hit is an amazing and complex task. So what is alcohol's affect on reaction time?

Well, alcohol adversely affects performance in situations involving rapidly changing stimuli. In sports there are so many variables changing that it is hard for someone who has consumed alcohol to keep up. Alcohol has adverse effects on visual tracking, hand eye coordination, fine motor skills, and accuracy. This leads to poor choices made during competition and can put you out of bounds.
