Alcohol Awareness
Alcohol and Drugs

Drinking alcohol and taking drugs increases the effects of all the drugs in your body. This is really dangerous and potentially fatal because you have no idea how you might react to this mix. Death may occur when moderate amounts of alcohol are combined with other depressant drugs such as sleeping pills and tranquillizers. Even small amounts of alcohol when taken together with these or other drugs, such as antidepressants, cannabis, or antihistamines (in cold, cough, and allergy remedies), can seriously impair your ability to drive a car.
