138 Effect of Alcohol on Psycho-Physiological Functions. 



particularly Subject IX, although regular users, were still affected more than 

 the average, according to data in Dodge and Benedict's table 50. Judged in 

 the light of their regular habits, these subjects are probably the most suscep- 

 tible to the alcohol effect. Subject III is the least susceptible. He used less 

 alcohol than Subjects VI, VII, or IX and yet shows the smallest alcohol effect. 



APPENDIX II. 



THE GENERAL EFFECTS OF ALCOHOL, DOSES A AND B, EXPERIENCED BY THE SUB- 

 JECTS OF DODGE AND BENEDICT'S EXPERIMENTS. 



Dodge and Benedict made no attempt to collect complete introspective data 

 from their subjects. Their measurements were planned to present objective 

 results, free from the personal bias of either subject or experimenter. The 

 protocols, however, contain the following notes, which are relevant to the im- 

 portant question of what amount of alcohol may be considered a moderate 

 dose. The general effects are furthermore of significance as sidelights on the 

 susceptibility of the individual to the influence of alcohol as shown by experi- 

 mental methods.
