Alcohol also changes the way you act. It can make you let go of the feelings that keep you from doing things you know are risky or dangerous. This can lead you to make bad decisions--like driving when you know you shouldn't or being too violent. You might think that it won't happen to you, but everyone knows someone who has said that and then ended up hurt.
