Alcohol Awareness for Your DMV Test

One of the biggest risks young people take when consuming alcohol is the likelihood of having an accident. This is why the Massachusetts RMV, along with other states, emphasizes alcohol awareness in their written knowledge tests for permits and driver’s licenses.

When you drink, alcohol moves through your stomach and is absorbed into your bloodstream. It quickly begins to affect your nervous system and brain signals.

Alcohol is classified as a depressant. It slows down sensory perception, judgment, and coordination. In simpler terms, alcohol impacts what you see, think, feel, and how you react.

The level of effect alcohol has on your body varies depending on your blood alcohol concentration (BAC). This is why all states have established legal BAC limits.

For your RMV knowledge test, it’s important to know the legal BAC limits in Massachusetts. Additionally, it is beneficial to understand the consequences of drinking and driving, including the implied consent law and what could happen if you refuse a chemical test.
