Abstract
In two samples of employed men (ns of 102 and 496), the amount of alcohol typically consumed per drinking occasion was significantly associated with decreased sober abstraction performance. Age was also significantly related to reduced abstraction scores. An increase of one drink in the quantity of alcohol typically consumed was associated with an average reduction in abstraction performance equivalent to 3.7 more yr of age in one sample and 2.4 more yr of age in the other sample.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
