Answer:

a.) Alcohol

Step-by-step explanation:

Long Island Iced Tea is a combination of different alcoholic drinks like tequila, vodka, and sour mix with a small amount of cola and lemon juice that intoxicates quickly. It is a type of drink that does not contain tea even though from its name, it can be said to contain tea. It is usually garnished with a lemon wedge and served with ice.

Margaritas is also a combination of tequila, vodka, sour mix with lime juice and sugar. Both Long Island Iced Tea and Margaritas contain a high level of calories and can increase weight gain if one does not exercise often. So, the combination of both Long Island Iced Tea and Margaritas have a large amount of alcohol which is beyond the standard of a normal drink. These combinations can decrease the perception of a driver.
