What are depressants characterized by?

  1. Increasing alertness

  2. Slowing down body functions

  3. Causing hallucinations

  4. Enhancing physical abilities

The correct answer is: Slowing down body functions

Depressants are psychoactive substances that are characterized by their ability to slow down body functions and suppress the central nervous system, leading to a decrease in physical and mental activity. Option A is incorrect because depressants do not increase alertness, they actually have the opposite effect. Option C is also incorrect because hallucinations are typically associated with psychedelics, not depressants. Lastly, option D is incorrect because depressants do not enhance physical abilities, they tend to have a sedative effect on the body.
