Abstract
An experiment was carried out to investigate the relationship between dynamic visual acuity and a low dose of alcohol. For the study, 18 sub jects ranging from 18 to 25 years of age were chosen. The subjects' dy namic visual acuities were compared before and after drinking 16.5 ml of alcohol, the amount in one standard can of beer. It was found that the acuity improved 30 min. after consuming this low volume of alcohol .
