Effect of a small dose of alcohol on driving-related behavior of Japanese who self-reported facial flush and nonflushing.

Perceptual and motor skills - 1 Dec 2009

Fujita Goro, Nishida Yasushi

Abstract excerpt

About half of northeastern Asians lack ALDH2 (Acetaldehyde Dehydrogenase 2), an enzyme involved in alcohol metabolism. People with deficient ALDH2 often experience facial flushing after drinking a small dose of alcohol. The present study examined the effect of a small dose of alcohol on driving-related behavior of northeastern Asians (Japanese). Participants were 9 Japanese flushers and 12 Japanese nonflushers....
