Safe & Responsible DrivingStandalone practice
You took a cold medicine that can cause drowsiness. At dinner, a friend offers you one glass of wine before you drive home. What is the main danger?
Correct answer: The medicine can multiply the wine's effect, so one glass can impair you badly
Why
Many cold, allergy and nerve medicines cause drowsiness on their own. Adding alcohol can make the effect much stronger than either one alone, and the mix can also cause serious health problems. If you have taken a medicine, skip the drink, or plan for someone else to drive.
