Description
Midori Motoi and a wide team study why felt drunkenness and alertness diverge after drinking in 2026. Ninety-three healthy adults drank a set dose based on body weight. Breath alcohol, felt intoxication, and a vigilance task were tracked over one hundred minutes. Gene types for two alcohol-breaking enzymes and usual drinking scores were also recorded.
One enzyme gene shaped how breath alcohol and felt drunkenness moved over time. Vigilance slipped with time for all, with no clear gene effect on that measure. Modeling showed breath level predicted both felt drunkenness and vigilance lapses at the forty-minute mark. Heavier usual drinkers felt less drunk at the same breath level, yet lapsed just as much.
