“…CRT performance was impaired by the high dose, but not the low dose, of alcohol. Compared with CFF, the sensitivity of a simple CRT task to alcohol has been shown more frequently (Azcona et al, 1995;Franks et al, 1976), even at BACs as low as 0.04% (Gengo et al, 1990). However, the effects of the high dose of alcohol (0.8 g/kg) that produced impairment in the present study have been previously indistinguishable from placebo on a CRT task (Tedeschi et al, 1984).…”

“…Subjects drank a given dose of ethanol at a constant rate over 20 min. Breath and venous blood ethanol concentration (BEC) were estimated 30 min after drinking stopped, at which time BEC would have reached the peak (Teo 1978;Franks et al 1976). The breath and blood BECs were estimated using Alcometer and gas chromatography, respectively (Teo 1978).…”

The acute effects of ethanol on the ERPs evoked by auditory stimuli were investigated using 0 g/kg, 0.3 g/kg and 0.54 g/kg ethanol dose. Ethanol was administered to 13 subjects single blind and orally in 20% v/v orange juice. Each subject received one of the three doses at three separate testing sessions. The ERPs were monitored at Cz in the 10-20 system in an odd ball paradigm. At the 0.54 g/kg ethanol level, an increase in latency was observed in the N1, P2, N2 components under both stimuli type conditions. The latency and amplitude of the P3 component were affected by ethanol at both dose levels. The amplitude of P3 was reduced and the latency increased in a dose-dependent manner. These characteristics of the P3 were observed under the target stimuli condition. The findings of the study suggested that stimulus attention, as reflected by N1 amplitude, was affected at the moderate ethanol dose level while stimulus categorisation, as reflected by P3 latency, was affected at the low ethanol dose level, with increased effects at the moderate dose level.

“…The Romberg test of standing steadiness has been found extremely sensitive to the impairing effects of alcohol (Kelley, Myrsten, Neri & Rydberg, 1970;Wallgren and Barry, 1970). In laboratory experiments, substantial increases in swaying were found at BAC's ranging from 0.075% to 0.15% (Franks, Hensley, Starmer & Teo, 1976;Fregly, Bergstedt & Graybiel, 1967;Goldberg, 1954;Idelstrom & Cadenius, 1968) and increases were sometimes found at alcohol levels as low as 0.03% (Hebbelinck, 1963). However, many drunken drivers did not display swaying when given the Romberg test even at BAC's as high as 0.10 -0.20% (Laves, 1955;Prag, 1953).…”
