Safe & Responsible DrivingStandalone practice
Your friend took a prescribed sedative earlier this evening. At a party, the friend drinks one beer and says, "One beer is nothing, so I am fine to drive." Which statement about this mix is correct?
Correct answer: Alcohol can increase the sedative's effect and hide it from your friend
Why
Alcohol is a depressant, and it adds to the effect of tranquilizers, sedatives and barbiturates. It can also hide the signs of the other drug, so the person may feel fine but react slowly and make poor choices. Before you take more than one drug, or any drug with alcohol, check with a doctor or pharmacist, and never drive after such a mix.
