Hi, I'm completing a review test my teacher made. I'm struggling on a few of the questions. Others I'm unsure about.
Key:
Unsure = IDK
[Answer] = I am mostly sure
[Answer]? = I am unsure, but I have a guess
Here they are:
The skills you need to say no to alcohol are called what? Unsure
What type of drugs slows down the body’s functions? Depressant
What is it called when unwanted physical and mental effects are caused by a drug? Side effects?
When drugs are abused or misused, what is one of the major effects that might result? Dizzyness?
Can you please help? Thanks!
BTW, it is not multiple choice.
No, my specialty is chemistry and not H and PE but for what it's worth, here are my thoughts. BTW, I would expect you could find the answer in your text/reading material.
The skills you need to say no to alcohol are called what? Unsure
You need discipline. You need "will power" in the form of "won't power".
What type of drugs slows down the body’s functions? Depressant
What is it called when unwanted physical and mental effects are caused by a drug? Side effects?
When drugs are abused or misused, what is one of the major effects that might result? Dizzyness?
Dissyness isn't what I would call a MAJOR side effect. But DEATH is a major with an overdose.
Of course, I can help you with your questions. Here are the step-by-step answers:
1. The skills you need to say no to alcohol are called what?
To answer this question, you can think about the skills that help you resist the pressure or temptation to consume alcohol. These skills are commonly referred to as refusal skills or resistance skills.

To find the answer, you need to think about the category of drugs that have a calming and sedating effect on the body. These drugs are known as depressants. Examples of depressants include alcohol, benzodiazepines, and opioids.
3. What is it called when unwanted physical and mental effects are caused by a drug?
When a drug produces undesired physical or mental effects, these effects are generally referred to as side effects. Side effects can vary depending on the drug and individual factors.

This addiction can lead to serious consequences and negatively impact the person's life.
