Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research indicates that both sober and intoxicated individuals generally share negative attitudes towards drunk driving. However, when intoxicated individuals are presented with a cue that highlights the benefits of driving (e.g., convenience), their negative attitudes towards drunk driving become less pronounced. This suggests that intoxication can impair judgment and make individuals more susceptible to cues that could lead them to underestimate the risks associated with drunk driving.
