Chicago, IL-(Effingham Radio)- A new study shows heavy drinkers can’t exactly “hold their liquor.” Instead, the University of Chicago study says those with alcohol use disorder, what used to be called alcoholism, tested significantly impaired on typical habits three hours after having a drink.
A coauthor of the study said it’s a “popular perception that experienced drinkers can handle their liquor – like two cowboys in a bar in a drinking competition.” Yet the senior author said only about 10-percent of those with alcohol use disorder go into treatment, and added that binge drinking is on the rise.
