People with alcohol use disorder significantly impaired hours after drinking

CNN (6/19, LaMotte) reports a study suggests that “people with alcohol use disorder…were significantly impaired on cognitive and motor tests up to three hours after downing an alcoholic drink designed to mimic their typical habits.” The research appears to dispel the “popular perception that experienced drinkers can handle their liquor.” The findings were published in Alcohol: Clinical and Experimental Research.
