Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Alcohol is implicated in behaviors leading to undesired pregnancy because it is a central nervous system depressant and affects judgment.

Rationale 3: Alcohol is implicated in behaviors leading to undesired pregnancy because it is a central nervous system depressant and affects judgment. It is not a sexual stimulant.
Rationale 4: Situational erectile dysfunction often occurs when the male partner is drunk. Chronic erectile dysfunction is more common in older men, and alcohol abuse is associated with this problem.
