Key result
The amount of alcohol consumed per drinking event was significantly and inversely related to sober neuropsychologic performance on the Shipley-Hartford Institute of Living Scale.
Why the study?
Does the amount of alcohol consumed per drinking event affect sober neuropsychologic performance in male university students?
Cross-Sectional (n=45)
Does the amount of alcohol consumed per drinking event affect sober neuropsychologic performance in male university students?
Higher amounts of alcohol consumed per drinking event are associated with worse sober neuropsychologic performance in young male students.
Higher per-event intake associated with worse sober cognition in male students; hypothesis-generating, should not yet change practice.
Drinking history and sober neuropsychologic performance were examined in 45 male university students between the ages of 21 and 30 yr. Sober performance on the Shipley-Hartford Institute of Living Scale was significantly and inversely related to the amount of alcohol consumed per drinking event. Neither frequency of drinking nor lifetime alcohol consumption were significantly related to cognitive performance in controlled multiple regression equations. These findings emphasize the need for more information about the effects of social drinking on health.

Parker et al. (1980) reported a cross-sectional. Alcohol intake per drinking event was evaluated on Sober performance on the Shipley-Hartford Institute of Living Scale. The amount of alcohol consumed per drinking event was significantly and inversely related to sober neuropsychologic performance on the Shipley-Hartford Institute of Living Scale.
