Agonist/antagonist
 Agonist are drugs that bind and activate a receptor with effecting the response.If the effect results in maximum response it is considered as full agonist. However if the drug that binds to the receptor results only into partial efficacy in relation to the full activation of the receptor, this is considered as partial agonist.

eimsori [14]
Janelle should talk to any trusted adult for advice. I'm assuming she can't just get her local physician any time she wants to talk to them. Someone else who drinks is not reliable. The people at the party will probably drink too.
