Which statement about mixing alcohol with other drugs before driving is true?
- A.Mixing cancels out the effects
- B.Only alcohol counts for DWI charges
- C.A stimulant offsets alcohol making driving safe
- D.The combination can impair you far more than either substance alone
Correct answer
D. The combination can impair you far more than either substance alone
Why
Alcohol combined with other drugs — including marijuana and sedating medicines — multiplies impairment. Drivers can be charged for impairment by alcohol, drugs, or both together.
