Question 4300

Can drinking stimulant beverages prevent drowsiness?

  1. Yes, in the short term, but drowsiness can return afterward.
  2. No, it can only be prevented with carbonated beverages.
  3. Yes, when they are consumed regularly.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, in the short term, but drowsiness can return afterward.

Coffee and other stimulant drinks can keep you from feeling sleepy for a while, but they do not replace the rest you need. When their effects wear off, drowsiness can return suddenly and catch you off guard. Drinking them often does not solve the problem, because they mask drowsiness without getting rid of it.
