Alcohol is a depressant and alters your state of consciousness. people who are drunk can't tense up because a good deal of their brain slows down (reacts slowly) or stops working at all.
If you drink and drive, the chances of you getting into a car accident and becoming brain dead are increased because of your current mentality. It's something of a defense mechanism.
Drunks don't just
go with the flow of an accident. They just can't work up their muscles to react to what's happening around them.
It's also bad to drive drunk because you are endangering not only your life, but also others that you have to share the road with.
It really isn't such a great idea.
