Which of the following is NOT a sign of intoxication?

  1. Less accuracy in recalling information

  2. Problems with speech

  3. Excessive energy

  4. Bloodshot eyes

The correct answer is: Excessive energy

Excessive energy is not typically recognized as a sign of intoxication. In fact, while some individuals may exhibit a temporary increase in energy or euphoria while under the influence of certain substances, this is not a consistent indicator of impairment. Intoxication usually presents with cognitive and physical impairments rather than increased energy levels. On the other hand, the other signs—less accuracy in recalling information, problems with speech, and bloodshot eyes—are common indications of intoxication. Impairment in memory and cognitive functions, difficulty articulating thoughts, and visible physical symptoms such as red, bloodshot eyes are all associated with various types of substance use. These signs reflect the body's response to alcohol or drugs, indicating that a person's ability to function normally is compromised.
