tee Of distinguished Danish scien-
fists discovered after giving seventy

In addition to this discovery,
which many persons criticised as
coming rather late, the investiga-
tors ascertained that all alcohol re-:
mains in the body only from four
to six hours.
The purpose Of the inquiry was to
find at just what stage the or
binary drinker is affected by in
toxicants. A total of 40 persons
participated in the experiment.
Half Of them were motorists, aged
"a, and the remainder 24-year-old
students.
They were divided into two main
groups. One was given six cubic
centimeters of alcohol per kilogram
Of the persons own weight, while
the other half got nothing. A
regular restaurant size glass was
used.
Those who had not eaten for
four hours prior to the test we're
given three drinks in Is minutes
and the scientists found they made
24.5 per cent more mistakes with
figures and in writing tests, while
other activities were retarded as
much as 60 per cent.
Even small doses Of alcohol de-
creased activity, it was reported.
However, the experiments failed
to decide the question of capacity.

Is minutes after he had bent an
elbow for the first time. Yet it took
more than an hour for one motorist
