Alcohol and driving speed up motorists says Dr Middleton
Dr Horace Vernon told the British Association for the Advancement of Science that whiskey raises a motorist heart rate and speeds driving, while beer is largely innocuous in moderate amounts. Tests used a dummy car to gauge reactions with whiskey and beer among 15 experienced motorists. More than one large whiskey shot reduced reaction time by six percent and raised driving errors by 12 percent, leaving drivers unaware of their shortcomings. The association elected Sir Edward Poulton as next year’s president.
