目的评估酗酒对学生第二天学业考试成绩的影响。设计一个随机分配条件顺序的安慰剂对照交叉设计。参与者在第一晚被随机分配到酒精饮料[平均值 = 0.12 g% 呼气酒精浓度 (BrAC)] 或安慰剂，然后在一周后接受另一种饮料。第二天，对参与者的应试、神经认知表现和情绪状态进行评估。参与者共有 196 名从大波士顿招募的大学生（>= 21 岁）。设置试验在波士顿医学中心的普通临床研究中心进行。测量研究生成绩考试（C）（GRE）和前一天的讲座测验测量了应试表现；神经行为评估系统（NES3）和精神运动警惕性测试（PVT）测量神经认知表现；情绪状态概况 (POMS) 测量情绪。结果：饮酒后第二天早上的考试成绩没有受到影响，但情绪状态和注意力/反应时间受到影响。结论饮酒至 0.12 g% BrAC 的水平不会影响第二天的考试成绩，但确实会影响一些神经认知测量和情绪状态。
AimTo assess the effects of binge drinking on students' next-day academic test-taking performance.DesignA placebo-controlled cross-over design with randomly assigned order of conditions. Participants were randomized to either alcoholic beverage [mean = 0.12 g% breath alcohol concentration (BrAC)] or placebo on the first night and then received the other beverage a week later. The next day, participants were assessed on test-taking, neurocognitive performance and mood state.ParticipantsA total of 196 college students (>= 21 years) recruited from greater Boston.SettingThe trial was conducted at the General Clinical Research Center at the Boston Medical Center.MeasurementsThe Graduate Record Examinations(C) (GREs) and a quiz on a lecture presented the previous day measured test-taking performance; the Neurobehavioral Evaluation System (NES3) and the Psychomotor Vigilance Test (PVT) measured neurocognitive performance; and the Profile of Mood States (POMS) measured mood.FindingsTest-taking performance was not affected on the morning after alcohol administration, but mood state and attention/reaction-time were affected.ConclusionDrinking to a level of 0.12 g% BrAC does not affect next-day test-taking performance, but does affect some neurocognitive measures and mood state.
