A Correct answer
Explanation

Alcohol first affects the cerebral cortex, which is responsible for higher functions like judgment, inhibition, and decision-making. This is why alcohol impairment first manifests as poor decision-making and loss of inhibition before affecting other areas like the limbbic system (emotions) or medulla (vital functions).
