Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Synergism occurs when the effect of two drugs taken together is greater than the sum of their separate effect at the same doses. Mixing alcohol (like beer) with sleeping pills can enhance the depressant effects of both, leading to increased sedation or potentially dangerous respiratory depression.
