Samenvatting
The relationships of drinkers' ratings of intoxication and driving impairment were examined in an alcohol experiment with 48 men and women, ages 21 - 54 years, who were light, moderate, and heavy drinkers. At 0.00% to 0.125% blood alcohol concentrations, subjects rated their intoxication and ability to drive with 100 mm rating scales. An additional measure, a ratings index, was created to adjust each measurement by the BAC associated with it. The ratings differed by gender and drinking category.
