Which type of drug would be considered a drug of abuse?

  1. Opiates

  2. Alcohol

  3. Nicotine

  4. All of the above

The correct answer is: All of the above

A drug of abuse refers to a substance that is used in a manner or amount that is harmful to the individual's health and well-being. It can also refer to a substance that is used recreationally for its pleasurable effects rather than for medical purposes. In this case, all of the options listed (opiates, alcohol, and nicotine) can be considered drugs of abuse as they are commonly used in a harmful or excessive manner and can have negative effects on an individual's health and well-being. Therefore, choosing "All of the above" is the most accurate option as it encompasses all three substances. Option A (Opiates), option B (Alcohol), and option C (Nicotine) are incorrect as they only represent single substances rather than the entire category of drugs of abuse.
