Whether you choose to drink or not is an individual decision.
“Alcohol does a lot of things: the reaction time impact, the motor coordination impact, the impact on judgment — these are all legitimate pharmacological effects of alcohol,” he said.
Members of one group were told they were getting drinks with alcohol, and they did; participants in a second group were told they were getting alcohol-free drinks, and they did.
For those who thought they were getting alcohol but didn’t, the group dynamic appeared quite active, according to Kilmer.
If you do make the choice to drink, he suggested lessening alcohol’s impact by alternating each alcoholic drink with a glass of water.
