A new study that people who regularly drink to excess can't actually “hold their liquor” better than people who don’t drink as much.
challenges the widely held assumption that people who regularly drink to excess can “hold their liquor” better than people who don’t drink as much.
The research team tested 397 people who were classified as light drinkers who do not binge drink, heavy social drinkers who binge several times a month, and people with alcohol use disorder – also known as alcoholism -- who binge frequently, about a third of the time. Participants took a breathalyzer test and were given tests at intervals of 30, 60, 120, and 180 minutes. A motor skill test involved putting pegs in holes and a cognitive test asked them to match symbols on a piece of paper. Participants were also asked at the 30- and 180-minute marks to judge their impairment, from “not at all” to “extremely.”
