CHOOSE THE CORRECT STATEMENT

A. The US Department of Health and Human Services says that more than 20 million people in the US use illegal drugs. When a person uses a drug over and over again to feel better or stay comfortable, this is called addiction. Some people turn into alcoholics just a few weeks after their first drink. B. Psychological drugs can do a lot of different things to the brain, from making it more alert to making it more likely to become addicted. Almost all addictive drugs work by stimulating the brain's reward circuitry, which makes people feel good. Teenagers are more likely to become addicted because their brains aren't as developed. C. Cocaine is a strong drug that speeds up the central nervous system. Cocaine makes people feel awake, happy, powerful, full of energy, and happy. Caffeine speeds up nerve activity by blocking chemicals that slow or stop nerve activity. Women who are pregnant and drink up to two cups of coffee a day are more likely to have a miscarriage. A B C NONE OF THE ABOVE
