Title
The Effects of Blood-Ethanol Concentrations on Hand-Eye Coordination in Humans
Description
All alcohols are toxic to man but ethyl alcohol is the least toxic of them. The pysically degrading effect of ethanol has been noted for around 5,000 years. Lolli (1960) showed that various concentrations of blood-ethanol gave varying degrees of physical impairment.
Six subjetcs were used each being given 3 different doses of ethanol on three different days. After a period of absorption the subjects were adminstered two tests of their hand-eye coordination. A blood sample was then drawn for a blood-ethanol concentration determination.
The results showed a slight trend toward increased impairment with increased blood-ethanol levels, but this proved to be statistically insignificant. The difference between subjects and learning of the tests did however appear to have significance.
