Sample alcohol & drugs questions
Which drink contains about the same amount of alcohol as a 12-ounce can of beer?
- A A 12-ounce glass of wine
- B A 5-ounce shot of whiskey
- C A 1.5-ounce glass of wine
- D A 5-ounce glass of wine
Show answer
D. A 5-ounce glass of wine
A 12-ounce beer, a 5-ounce glass of wine and a 1.5-ounce shot of whiskey hold the same amount of alcohol. Switching drink types does not make you any safer to drive.
What is the only thing that sobers up a person who has been drinking?
- A Strong black coffee
- B A cold shower
- C Exercise and fresh air
- D Time
Show answer
D. Time
Your body removes alcohol at a steady rate, and nothing speeds it up. Coffee, cold showers, exercise and fresh air may make you feel more alert, but you are still impaired.
Under Michigan's implied consent law, when are drivers considered to have agreed to a chemical test?
- A Only after they are arrested and sign a form
- B Only if they have been in a crash
- C Only if they are under age 21
- D When they apply for and renew their driver's license
Show answer
D. When they apply for and renew their driver's license
By getting and renewing a Michigan license, you have already agreed to chemical testing. Refusing a test an officer asks for leads to a license suspension and six points.
