Abstract

The optokinetic, horizontal, per- and postrotatoric nystagmus was recorded before the consumption of alcoholic beverages by 20 young test persons as well as 2, 4, and 6 h later. The results showed that the most evident alterations cannot be recorded during the highest blood alcohol concentration but only 6 h after the consumption of alcohol. It was evaluated that the decomposition products of alcohol provoked the vestibular disorders.
