In Delaware, is it against the law to combine prescription drugs and alcohol before driving?

Yes, it is illegal
No, it is legal
Only if the alcohol is above a certain limit
Only with specific prescriptions

The correct answer is: Yes, it is illegal

Combining prescription drugs and alcohol before driving is against the law in Delaware because this combination can significantly impair one's ability to operate a vehicle safely. Both alcohol and many prescription medications can affect coordination, reaction times, and judgment, increasing the risk of accidents and endangering not only the driver but also others on the road. The law seeks to prevent driving under the influence of substances that can impair cognitive and motor functions, making it illegal to drive under these conditions. Driving while impaired by any combination of substances is treated seriously, and enforcement of this law helps to promote road safety.
