Florida Learner's Permit Practice Test

Which of the following is true about alcoholic beverages?

1. They should be avoided altogether

2. They can be consumed in moderate amounts

3. They should be consumed while operating a motor vehicle

4. They should only be consumed when under 21 years old

The correct answer is: They can be consumed in moderate amounts

Alcoholic beverages should be avoided altogether if someone has any underlying health conditions or is taking certain medications. However, for individuals without these restrictions, moderate alcohol consumption (typically defined as one drink per day for women and two drinks per day for men) may provide certain health benefits. Option C is incorrect because it is not only illegal but also incredibly dangerous to consume alcohol while operating a motor vehicle. Option D is incorrect because the legal drinking age in the United States is 21 years old. Regardless, it is important to always drink responsibly and within legal limitations.
