✦ Synopsis

Thirty-six males and females participated as couples in two experimental sessions. In one session they were given alcohol (maximum alcohol dose 0.83 to 1.00 ml/kg) and during the other session they received a placebo drink. Subjects performed a perceptual judgment task which measured influence acceptance from their partners and also performed several motor and cognitive tasks. Overall, alcohol did not significantly decrease influence acceptance (Yielding), although most of the subjects were impaired on two of the motor-cognitive tasks. Although there was no relationship between Yielding under alcohol and either subjects' BA levels or their degree of impairment on the motor tasks, small differences in prior drinking history did significantly differentiate those subjects who showed decreased susceptibility to social influence after alclhol.
