Intoxication

Intoxication refers to a state of being under the influence of substances such as alcohol or drugs, which alters a person's mental and physical functions. It can impair judgment, coordination, and reaction times, leading to risky behaviors and potential harm. Intoxication varies in severity, from mild impairment to complete loss of control, and can have both short-term effects (like impaired decision-making) and long-term consequences (such as addiction). Understanding intoxication is important for making informed choices about substance use and recognizing when someone may need help.
