| Authors: | E C Jansen H H Thyssen J Brynskov |
| Abstract: | The ability to walk after intake of increasing amounts of alcohol was studied. Sixteen normal persons were tested on a computer-assisted treadmill. Ataxia or unsteadiness of gait was found to decrease during a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of less than 0.4 mg/ml. Stride length was found to increase by increasing BAC. |
