Acute effects of intravenously given alcohol on saccadic eye movements and subjective evaluations of intoxication

Psychopharmacology
V JänttiA Pakkanen

Abstract

Effects of intravenously given alcohol on eye movements were analysed in ten voluntary subjects. Each subject served as his/her own control. Good correlations were found between the changes in saccade variables and subjective evaluations of alertness, eye movement control and intoxication. Interindividually, the subjective evaluation of drunkenness correlates with the alcohol effect on saccade variables better than do the other subjective variables or blood or breath alcohol concentrations. A steady decrease of mean and maximum velocity and a steady increase in the duration of saccades was observed during the alcohol infusion. The latency of saccades also increased. There was, however, a slight decrease of latency due to alcohol 15 min after the start of infusion, suggesting a biphasic effect of alcohol on saccade latency.
