Abstract

An alcohol provocation test is described wherein a 20% solution of alcohol was injected intravenously in 57 subjects with three major goals: 1) To determine criminal culpability. 2) To determine alcohol activation of the electroencephalogram. 3) To aid in treatment of the chronic alcoholic through personal feedback. The test was found safe and reliable. Results are interpreted on the basis of behavioral observations and blood alcohol levels. Advantages of such a test are reviewed.
