A questionnaire.
"Which of the things from the list below do you do most often to improve your sense of well being? Please drag and drop up to 3 [MAXIMUM 3 RESPONSES]?"
Among other alternatives "Take recreational drugs" are mentioned. Other alternatives are "Do exercise, eat healthy food, drink lots of water, shopping, spend time with friends" etc.
I was thinking of "Uppiggande hälsokostpreparat". Is there a better choice?

lätta droger
Norstedts säger:
recreational drug
substantiv
drog (narkotika) som tas för avkoppling ofta till fest av person som inte anser sig vara (eller som inte är) missbrukare; partydrog
Den normala översättningen borde vara "partydrog" men jag tycker inte det passar i sammanhanget. Uppiggande medel fungerar knappast heller.
"lätta droger"? (typ alkohol)

njutningsmedel eller nåt
Läser just en bok om droger på 1800-talet och där används termerna "recreational drugs" och t ex "recreational use of opium". Författaren diskuterar skiljelinjen mellan "medical use" och "recreational use". "Recreational drugs" är alltså motsatsen till "medical use", droger man tar för att koppla av eller njuta. Tror inte det finns nån bra svensk term. I FASS använder de termen oöversatt.
