Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The use of certain medicines (such as sedatives, anxiolytics, antidepressants, muscle relaxants or certain antihistamines) can depress the central nervous system and seriously impair the ability to drive safely. Their side effects may include drowsiness, reduced alertness, impaired motor coordination, blurred vision and a marked increase in reaction time, symptoms very similar to those caused by alcohol intake. By contrast, stimulant drinks such as coffee or tea contain caffeine or theine, which do not produce these depressant effects, although they also do not eliminate or compensate for tiredness or the effects of alcohol.
