What is considered a "drug" for purposes of Orange County California DUI Drug laws?

The term “drug” means any substance or combination of substances, other than alcohol, which could so affect the nervous system, brain, or muscles of a person as to impair, to an appreciable degree, his ability to drive a vehicle in the manner that an ordinarily prudent and cautious man, in full possession of his faculties, using reasonable care, would drive a similar vehicle under like conditions. (See California Vehicle Code section 312). This applies to both legal and illegal drugs, including prescription and over-the-counter medication.
