  3. Aspirin

  4. Valium

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Aspirin is the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. It is used to reduce fever and pain. Aspirin, a longtime antidote for the side effects of drinking, may actually enhance alcohol's effect. Aspirin significantly lowered the body's ability to break down alcohol in the stomach. Aspirin interferes with the action of an enzyme in the stomach lining called alcohol dehydrogenase and erodes the mucosal lining of the stomach, which breaks down a portion of each drink consumed before it enters the bloodstream. Aspirin probably has no effect on alcohol once it has been absorbed and is circulating.
