It is a statement bas?d on the results of experiments made by eminent scientists, who devised a series of tests and applied them to many individuals before and after they had taken alcoholic liquor. In all cases the ability to add, to memorize and to think quickly were greatly reduced within a few minutes after taking the drink, and the handicap lasted for as long as three days. The more diflicult the task, the great er was the handicap and the more numerous were the mis takes made by the one tested. On the average the falling off in efficiency under alcohol amounted to over 15 percent., as compared to normal conditions. These men were not drunk, but had simply had ,a moderate drink. What s more, everyone of them imagined that he was doing work fully up to grade while the tests showed that it was far below. "According to these tests," says the State Board of Health, "he who would think must not drink.
