Safe & Responsible DrivingStandalone practice
This morning you took an allergy medicine that contains an antihistamine. At dinner you plan to have one beer and then drive home. What is true about this plan?
Correct answer: The antihistamine and the beer together can impair you far more than either alone.
Why
Mixing alcohol with prescription or over-the-counter drugs is one of the most common and most dangerous kinds of drug misuse. Read the labels of all medicines for warnings about drowsiness or machinery, and ask your doctor or pharmacist when you are unsure about a drug or a mix of drugs. The safe plan is to skip the beer or to have someone else drive.
