Seldom does anyone offer to pay students
for getting drunk, but the UNC Center for
Alcohol Studies will pay students to get
drunk.
Dr. John Ewing. center director, currently
needs test subjects for his project designed to
investigate relationships between alcohol
sensitivity and ethnic background.
Subjects are paid $15 to spend an
afternoon in N.C. Memorial Hospital during
which they are intravenously intoxicated
and subjected to a number of tests.
The amount of alcohol given to subjects is
about the same as that found in two 12
ounce beers. But because the solution goes
directly into the blood, its effects are much
stronger than those normally produced by
two beers. : -?
"I got really drunk," Tom Chaltas, a
recent test subject, said. "I was much
drunker than 1 would want to be if 1 had to
drive." .
Chaltas was repeatedly given breathalyzer
tests identical to those the N.C. Highway
Patrol uses to test drivers they suspect to be
drunk. At no time did Chaltas's blood
contain one per cent alcohol, the level at
which he would be classified too drunk to
drive. He was not released from the hospital,
however, until his blood alcohol level was
back to normal.
Many criminologists say the present one
per cent blood-Lvel standard is too liberal
and should be lowered. But Dr. Ewing's
opinion differs.
"They should enforce the present law
before they think about changing it," he said.
North Carolina's law is structured so that a
driver whose alcohol level is above one per
cent can be found innocent of drunken
driving. II the jury decides the defendant is a
good driver who can handle his liquor, he
can be dismissed.
An analogous situation, Ewing said,
would be "catching a man driving 100 miles
per hour, and then dismissing him because
he's a good driver."
Although he is concerned about the
subject, reformation of N.C. drunk driving
laws is not the goal of Ewing's studies. He is
trying to find causes and cures for
alcoholism.
"Alcoholism affects 20 per cent of "North
Carolina's population directly and
indirectly," Ewing said. I he state spends

Paul Kramer takes alcohol-level blood test
$10 million annually for treatment facilities
. . . If you count the real and hiddehcosts in
terms of ill health, accidents, highway
wrecks, law enforcement, prisons, hospitals,

Ewing resigned as chairman of the UNC
psychiatry department in 1970 tcfound the
alcohol studies center. He is now trying to
establish a program of cooperative
alcoholism research involviong several N.C.
universities. If initiated, the program will be

He would like to finance it by placing a
modest surcharge on state beer and wine
sales. This tax would hike the price of a six
pack of beer by three cents and would bring

in an estimated $4 million dollars annually.
The plan is currently under considerat ion by
the state legislature.
Of the many projects he has conducted
since 1970, Ewing considers his study of
oriental reactions to alcohol the most
significant. The subject of a recent. Time
magazine article, the project tested 24
orientals and 24 westerners. They were each
given cocktails of ginger-ale and ethyl
alcohol.

Cries and Whispers
The Super Sunday film Cries and
Whispers will be shown at 6:30 and 9 tonight
in the Great Hall.
After several drinks, the westerners
reported feeling relaxed, confident, alert and
happy. After drinking the same amount, the
orientals experienced pounding in the head,
muscle weakness, diziness, anxiety and
flushing of the face and hands.
"These reactions," Ewing said, "may help
to explain the low level of alcoholism among
orientals."
Ewing is now testing other ethnic groups
including blacks, Jews. American Indians
and more orientals. He is trying to isolate the
factors causing one ethnic group to have
reactions to alcohol different from those felt
by another group. If he can isolate these
factors, he says, he may be able to use them
to reduce the effects of alcohol on alcoholics.
One of Ewing's first studies, completed' in
1971, surveyed the drinking habits of
undergraduate males at a large,
southeastern, coeducational, state
university. The administration of the
university in question would not allow
Ewing to use the school's name.
"If you would like to think I traveled a
long way to conduct the survey," Ewing
quipped, "you may do so."
In any case, the undergraduate males
tested were classified by two factors, place of
residence (dormitory, fraternity or private
residence) and by amount of alcohol
normally consumed.
Thirty-nine per cent of the school's heavy
drinkers lived in fraternity houses. To be
classified as a heavy drinker, one must drink
between one and two fifths of whiskey or its
equivalent every week.
No fraternity members surveyed were
classified as abstainers; 80 per cent of the
campus's abstainers lived in dormitories.
Dr. Ewing does not advocate abstinence
from alcohol. In fact, he describes himself as
an enthusiastic drinker. He would simply
like to find a means by which people may
drink without being endangered by the
disease tof alcoholism.
Anyqne interested in serving as a paid test
subject 6 should contact Elaine Woody,
administrative secretary jor the Center jor
Alcohbl Studies at 966-4692.
