During a drinking experiment 20 young male volunteers were asked to estimate the amount of their BAC and commented on their driving ability and their readiness to participate in road traffic. During the resorption phase the majority of the volunteers estimated their BAC too low, whereas in the early elimination phase most of their estimates were to high. The majority of the volunteers felt able to drive throughout the whole experiment which demonstrates an impairment of essential control functions as early as low to medium alcohol intoxication.
