Question

Which of the following option is false with specific reference to alcohol?

• A. Stimulant
• B. Acidic in effect
• C. Noxious in smell
• D. Bitter in taste

Hint:

Alcohol primarily acts as a depressant, slowing down the nervous system. It is not considered acidic in effect and is generally described as having a strong, sometimes bitter taste.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The incorrect statement is “Acidic in effect”. Alcohol is a depressant, not a stimulant, and its effect on the body is sedative. While alcohol may have a distinct smell and taste, it is not acidic in nature in the way that some other substances like vinegar are.
