Abstract:Little information exists regarding ethanol thresholds or how thresholds change depending upon the matrix of evaluation. The objective of this experiment was to determine the detection threshold of ethanol in water and the just-noticeable difference (JND) thresholds for ethanol in water and beer. We also sought to determine whether ethanol thresholds correlate with frequency of ethanol consumption. The best estimate of threshold (BET) was determined for 75 subjects in water and/or beer using the ascending meth… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
