    Drinking alcohol excessively can affect eye health. Drinking heavily will affect brain function, thus people who drink heavily may have delayed reactions, which is very dangerous while driving. They also get blurred vision or double vision because their eye muscles are weakened in coordination. Drinking alcohol can also decrease your peripheral vision. So drivers are not allowed to drink alcohol because drink alcohol excessively will affect them to drive safely.
