Which of the following is a Central Nervous System Stimulant?

Alcohol
Sleeping Pills
Amphetamines
Codeine

The correct answer is: Amphetamines

Amphetamines are a classification of drugs that stimulate the central nervous system (CNS) by enhancing the activity of neurotransmitters in the brain. They are commonly used to treat conditions such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. Option A, alcohol, is a depressant that slows down the CNS and can lead to drowsiness and sedation. Option B, sleeping pills, are also depressants and are used to induce sleep by slowing down the CNS. Option D, codeine, is an opioid that suppresses CNS activity and is commonly used as a pain reliever. Thus, with the exception of amphetamines, all other options have a depressant effect on the CNS.
