Which of the following is a sign that a person may be intoxicated?

• A. Slurred Speech
• B. Wearing sunglasses indoors
• C. Checking their watch repeatedly
• D. Loud, uncoordinated movement

Answer: (D)

Intoxication commonly disrupts motor control and balance. When someone is intoxicated, you’re likely to notice loud, uncoordinated movements as they struggle to control their limbs, walk steadily, or perform tasks that require fine coordination. This direct sign of impaired coordination makes it a reliable cue in safety assessments. Slurred speech can occur too, but it isn’t as consistently observable in every setting and may be caused by other factors. Wearing sunglasses indoors and repeatedly checking a watch are not reliable indicators of intoxication on their own.
