The test requires people who are moderate or social drinkers to take part in a test into the effectiveness of alcohol and energy stimulant drinks.
Criteria
If you are interested in being included please reply to this email with your
height
Weight
Details of any reasons why you may not be suitable
And any medication you are currently taking.
If successful you will be necessary for you to attend lab sessions on four separate days. If leave from work is required official letters can be sent out to your employer or educational institution.
There are requirements to pass before being included in the test. A simple health screen must be passed and you must be within your scientifically determined weight range or body mass index.
It is also advisable to consult your general practitioner in relation to your suitability.
Food requirements
Please note that on the day before the test you will not be allowed to drink any alcohol. On the morning of the test you will not be allowed to eat any food until you have reached the test centre.
On arrival you will be given a meal consisting of 400 calories. This will be to ensure that all the test participants have had the “same” amount of nutritional intake before the alcohol is administered.
You will be given alcohol and then after an hour of time has lapses you will be allowed to complete a reaction time test and the measurements will go into a set of results for your record.
Safety
After the test you will be advised to stay within the test centre for a minimum period of an hour and also you will be advised to take an agent to reverse the effects of the alcohol. If you refuse these two options then you will have to sign a disclaimer.
This is merely for legal reasons and to ensure that if you decide to drive or operate machinery then the test centre has covered itself by giving you the option to be safe.
YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO PARTAKE IF YOU HAVE ULCERS, LIVER OR DIGESTIVE TRACT DISORDERS OR ARE ON ANY CONTRICTORY MEDICATION WHICH FORBIDS ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION.
ALSO WE ARE ONLY LOOKING FOR A MAXIMUM OF 15 MALE AND FEMALE TEST SUBJECTS. PLEASE REPLY PROMPTLY IF YOU WISH TO BE INCLUDED.
