Answer 1

Taking two depressants such as a sleeping pill along with alcohol can result in:

• drug synergism.
• producing extreme drowsiness.

Combining depressants typically enhances their effects (synergism) and can lead to extreme drowsiness. Drug antagonism and cancelling each other’s effects would not apply in this case, as both substances have similar depressant effects on the central nervous system.
