ALCOHOL IMPAIRS AT
LOW LEVELS
In Other Words....
You Don't Get It!
Just ask a Gorilla
!!!!
Drinking even a light or
moderate amount of alcohol - say, only a couple of beers - might not
seem like a lot, but can make people oblivious to certain things... even
a Gorilla !
Researchers at the University of Washington gave 23
people enough alcohol to reach a blood alcohol content of 0.04 percent
(half the legal limit and only about 2 and 1/2 beers for a 180 pound
man.)
A second group of 23 people drank no alcohol.
The researchers then showed both groups a video clip
of two teams passing a ball back and forth, and asked them to count the
number of times the ball was passed.
Meanwhile, during the clip a man in a gorilla suit
walked through the crowd, thumped his chest, and walked off.
Researchers said that 46 percent of the non-drinkers
saw and identified the gorilla, but only 18 percent of the drinkers
did. "Alcohol limits our attention span and does something to
the brain cognitively" said the researchers. Alcohol, it seems,
even in low doses limits our senses including the ability for perception
and our cognitive abilities overall.

"We have all witnessed the
savage human toll of addiction...
We now know enough to save millions of lives over the next few years. Whether we do so or
not depends upon us.
Addiction is America’s Number One Killer and Crippler.
It’s a tough adversary that won't respond to token efforts. Everyone of us, private
citizens, business and labor leaders, clergy, teachers and school administrators, social
service and law enforcement workers, government officials at every level, friends and
families, parents and children - everyone of us has a role in the effort to control and
eventually lick addiction".
