Step-by-step explanation:

  • The term alcohol is referring to the primary alcohol that is called ethanol or also called ethyl alcohol. It is used as a drug, it can be addictive, and it is the main alcohol present that we can find in alcoholic beverages.
  • Depressant has a meaning of drug that can lower neurotransmission levels.
  • Intoxication is also called poisoning which is caused especially by alcoholic drinks or also narcotics.

These three terms are connected because alcohol is classified as a depressant of the central nervous system and people can get intoxicated by it.
