Residual Effects of Intoxication on Student Performance: Recruiting Subjects for Study

Residual Effects of Intoxication on Student Performance: Recruiting Subjects for Study: "The primary goal of the study is to assess the residual effects of heavy drinking on academic performance. The investigators will also explore whether these effects differ by family history of alcohol abuse and hangover symptoms, as well as compare males and females with respect to these effects. The investigators' primary hypothesis is that intoxication (0.10g% blood alcohol concentration [BAC]) with an alcoholic beverage impairs next-day academic performance, as measured by scores on quizzes, standardized academic achievement tests, and standardized neurobehavioral assessments. Their secondary hypothesis is that family-history-positive individuals will show a greater performance decrement the day after heavy drinking than family-history-negative individuals. "
