About Alcoholism - Alcoholism Information, Research and Treatment

An experiment carried out several years ago in Manchester, England, involved a group of experienced bus drivers. They were divided into three groups: the first drank nothing before the test, the second drank two ounces of whisky and the third drank six ounces of whisky. Driving their own buses, these men, most of them moderate beer drinkers and all of them highly experienced drivers with no accident records, were told to maneuver their vehicles through the narrowest possible corridor without touching the side markers. They were themselves to indicate the width of the corridor they thought they could negotiate.
