Self-evaluation of performance and the ability to discriminate blood alcohol concentrations
Abstract
Social drinkers who had been trained to discriminate their blood alcohol concentrations (BAC) tended to predict greater impairment of performance while drinking than did untrained controls, although their actual performance on coding tasks did not differ. It is suggested that training in BAC discrimination may enhance caution and concern about behavioral impairment while drinking.
