What is one of the first faculties impaired by the first drink of alcohol?

Vision
Balance
Hearing
Speech

The correct answer is: Balance

With the first drink of alcohol, balance is one of the first faculties to be impaired. The reason why vision, hearing, and speech are not the correct answer is because alcohol affects areas of the brain responsible for motor control and coordination, which includes balance. While alcohol can also affect vision, hearing, and speech, they are not typically one of the first impairments to be noticed with a single drink. Therefore, B is the best answer.
