choice of using oral (as opposed to intravenous alcohol challenges [Ramchandani et al., 2002]), because the oral route adds variability to the BAC. While that point is worth noting, our procedure of giving alcohol based on both weight and percent body water has resulted in a fairly narrow range of BACs, particularly at and around peak blood alcohol, a key time for our evaluations (Eng et al., 2005; Schuckit and Gold, 1988). Finally, the outcomes in these relatively young men focused on the most salient outcomes for LR, alcohol quantities, as other outcomes such as AUDs, that were less common for this modest sized group of young men were not tested.
