Explanation:

• Confusion (A): Alcohol affects the central nervous system. In the short - term, it can disrupt normal brain function, leading to confusion.
• Cirrhosis (B): This is a long - term effect. It is a degenerative disease of the liver caused by prolonged and excessive alcohol consumption.
• Blindness (C): While alcohol can have long - term effects on the eyes (e.g., through nutritional deficiencies over time), it is not a typical short - term effect.
• Tremors (D): Tremors are more commonly associated with alcohol withdrawal (a short - term consequence of stopping alcohol use after a period of dependence) rather than the immediate short - term effect of using alcohol.

A. confusion
