Subjective Behavioral Measures of Intoxication: analysis of variance and post hoc testing results. Participants rated their response to the alcohol challenge (0.35 or 0.7 g/kg) on the following visual analog scales (VAS). Questions were posed to the participants in the form of “How _______ do you feel right now?” or “How much do you (have) _______ right now?” and rated on a scale from 0 - ‘not at all’ to 100 - ‘extremely’
VAS | ANOVA results | post hoc results |
---|---|---|
Feel alcohol effects | F(2,336) = 110.626, p < .001 | All dose conditions different |
Clumsy | F(2,336) = 5.241, p = .006 | High dose greater than placebo |
Dizzy | F(2,336) = 19.2, p < .001 | All dose conditions different |
Drunk | F(2,336) = 81.904, p < .001 | All dose conditions different |
Floating | F(2,336) = 27.503, p < .001 | High dose greater than low dose and placebo |
Great | F(2,336) = 9.256, p < .001 | High dose and placebo greater than low dose |
High | F(2,336) = 22.177, p < .001 | All dose conditions different |
Muddle/Confused | F(2,326) = 7.972, p < .001 | High dose greater than low dose and placebo |
Nauseated | F(2,336) = 5.007, p = .007 | Low dose greater than placebo |
Sleepy | F(2,336) = 3.042, p = .049 | Low dose greater than high dose and placebo |
Slurred speech | F(2,336) = 38.9, p < .001 | High dose greater than low dose and placebo |
Terrible | F(2,336) = 6.56, p = .002 | Low dose greater than high dose and placebo |
Uncomfortable | F(2,336) = 8.529, p < .001 | Low dose and placebo greater than high dose |
