Residual Effects of Intoxication on Student Performance
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Alcohol and Placebo for Alcoholic Intoxication and Neurobehavioral Manifestations. Completed, enrolled 239 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
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 primary hypothesis is that intoxication (0.10 g% 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. The secondary hypothesis is that family-history-positive individuals will show a greater performance decrement the day after heavy drinking than family-history-negative individuals.

Interventions
Participants report for their first dosing night where they receive several alcohol/beer drinks sufficient to raise their BrAC to 0.10 g%. Participants are breath-tested after completing their required dose. Participants return in a week for the 2nd session and receive placebo drinks. Participants are breath-tested after completing their placebo drinks.
