Answer 1

When taking two depressants such as a sleeping pill along with alcohol, the following effects can result:

• drug synergism: The effects of both substances can amplify each other, leading to a stronger overall effect than either substance would cause alone.
• producing extreme drowsiness: The combination can significantly increase sedation and drowsiness.

The options drug antagonism and cancelling each other’s effects would not typically apply in this case, as both substances are depressants.
