Which substances can reduce alertness and reflexes and cause drowsiness, effects that alcohol can also cause?

Correct answer

Certain medicines with sedative effects.

Certain medicines, such as some sedatives, can produce these effects and impair driving. This does not apply to every medicine or mean every treatment causes an accident. Read the leaflet and consult a healthcare professional; do not drive if impaired. Follow prescribed treatment and do not stop it on your own. Do not mix medicines with alcohol. Ordinary coffee or tea is not the answer on the basis of a supposedly guaranteed sedative effect.
