Final answer:

Alcohol, barbiturates, and GHB are all classified as sedative-hypnotics.

The drugs that are classified as sedative-hypnotics include alcohol, barbiturates, and GHB (Gamma-Hydroxybutyrate). Barbiturates are CNS depressants that are similar to the depressant effects of alcohol. They are drugs derived from barbituric acid and have sedative and hypnotic effects.
