Recreational drugs include which of the following?

• A. Paracetamol and aspirin
• B. Water and juice
• C. Caffeine (tea, coffee, soft drinks)
• D. Morphine and cocaine

Answer: (C)

Recreational drugs are substances people use to enjoy themselves or alter mood rather than for medical reasons. Caffeine, found in tea, coffee, and many soft drinks, is a legal stimulant that people commonly use to feel more awake or alert, so it’s a clear example of a everyday recreational drug. The other options aren’t fit for this context: paracetamol and aspirin are medicines; water and juice are drinks with no drug effect; morphine and cocaine are drugs but illegal and highly dangerous, not the ordinary, widely used recreational substance described at this level.
