Using Alcohol

Question 10 • *CR Foundations of Personal Wellness S2 [ELECTIVE, Y4904OX]

Which of the following statements is NOT true about alcohol?

Answer

Alcohol content, which can be found on the label, is expressed as a percent.

Alcohol is a depressant, which means it speeds up the nervous system.

Before alcohol is metabolized in the body, it is an active brain drug and a cellular toxin.

Alcohol is created when grains, fruits, or vegetables are fermented.

Explanation

Alcohol is a depressant, so it slows down activity in the central nervous system rather than speeding it up. The other statements are true: alcohol content is shown as a percentage, alcohol affects the brain and can be toxic to cells, and alcoholic beverages are made by fermenting grains, fruits, or vegetables. Therefore, the statement that is NOT true is “Alcohol is a depressant, which means it speeds up the nervous system.”
