If someone tells you they can handle their liquor because they drink heavily and frequently, don’t believe it, a new study suggests. They may be more impaired than they know.
It’s a misnomer that heavy drinkers can “hold their liquor,” a new study found. Instead, people with alcohol use disorder — what used to be called alcoholism — were significantly impaired on cognitive and motor tests up to three hours after downing an alcoholic drink designed to mimic their typical habits.
5 drinks a week for light drinkers and about 20 drinks for heavy drinkers,” King said. People in this group also had to meet other criteria for alcohol use disorder, such as not being able to cut down on use, drinking even when it caused trouble with family and friends, and getting into situations where they or others could get hurt.
