The Effects of Alcohol Use Disorders on Cognitive Function

Heavy drinkers thought they were less impaired at low levels of alcohol use. But once they get drinking at the level that they are usually drinking, they're actually more impaired. At the three hour mark, they still hadn't returned to baseline. The others return to baseline much more quickly. It's not surprising from a pharmacological point of view. You drink more. There's a dose response curve here. This study answered that narrow question. They're drinking to greater levels of anebriation. And it's taking them more alcohol to get way more wasted just as part of this disorder.
