Safe & Responsible DrivingStandalone practice
Driver A takes a prescribed medicine to calm nerves and then has one beer with dinner before driving home. Why is this mix especially risky?
Correct answer: The medicine can multiply the alcohol's effects and add its own
Why
Many medicines, including ones for colds, allergies, or nerves, can make a person drowsy even without alcohol. When alcohol is added, the result can harm your driving far more than either one alone and can even cause serious health problems or death. If you take any medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist whether it is safe to drink or to drive.
