Motor neurons don't care how much tolerance your cerebral cortex thinks it has.
Lol anyone who has lived with an alcoholic knows this.
Though actual research on the subject is always important.
I'm too drunk to read thought this.. Where's summarize bot?
When they drank alcohol in our study at a dose similar to their usual drinking pattern, we saw significant impairments on both the fine motor and cognitive tests that was even more impairment than a light drinker gets at the intoxicating dose.
So at the "standard" drunk level of 4 drinks, alcoholics are less impaired, but when alcoholics drink more than that they are more impaired than a "normal" drunk person.
So alcoholics can have a higher tolerance for base consumption, but when they pass that they go straight to trashed.
That’s not quite right. Alcoholics do tolerate lower level of alcohol (4 drinks) than normal people. But once they get to 8 (which they do - remember these are alcoholics) they don’t get more drink than a normal drink person but they are more than twice as drunk as before and they are less drunk than they really are.
they are more than twice as drunk as before and they are less drunk than they really are
I can't make any sense of this part.
Sorry that wasn’t very well written.
The point is that alcoholics are not MORE drunk than non alcoholics on 8 drinks. They are just as hammered (but not more) than non alcoholics. The problem is that they THINK they are not as drunk while a nonalcoholic may recognize their impairment
tldr they found in their study that alcoholics/people with AUD can drink 50% more (7-8 drinks) and be twice as intoxicated , as compared to standard drinkers and alcoholics at 4-5 drinks, where the alcoholics were comparatively much less intoxicated than 'standard drinkers' (I think this implies that alcoholics do have a tolerance to alcohol but tolerance is not linear)
Not ground breaking stuff imo
So the headline is lying? Curious.
No, perhaps I've poorly explained it. The article's not a very long read though.
That title is gibberish.
