Alcohol was ingested in three different doses (0.28, 0.56, 0.84 g/kg body weight within 10-15 min) by young healthy males, and the blood alcohol concentration (BAK) and the psychomotor performance were measured in regular intervalls of 20-60 min for more than 5 h. The ability to perform a complex psychomotor performance test as quick and as accurate as possible, was significantly reduced in the group (and in each individual), if the BAK had reached 0.015% (-0.025%) in the phase of the alcohol resorption, if the BAK was 0.035% (-0.045%) in the plateau, or if it was as high as 0.045% (-0.050%) in the phase of the alcohol elimination. The reduction in performance at a BAK plateau of about 0.09% corresponded well to the reduction caused in the same group by 0.5 g Hexobarbital (Evipan) orally taken. The results emphasize the necessity of a regulation related to drinking, which, in airline and military crews, prohibits a person from acting as a crewmember in general aviation for a given time after the termination of the consumption of alcoholic beverages.
