Literature Review on Low-Dose Alcohol Effects on Driving Skills, 1981-1997

112 articles from 1981 to 1997 were reviewed to analyze the effects of alcohol on driving-related skills. The results were indexed by blood alcohol concentration (BAC) and behavioral area, forming a database. The review was authored by H Moskowitz and concluded that impairment begins at low BACs and varies by skill.

Use Cases

• Modeling the relationship between Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) and driving skill impairment based on the indexed results.
• Analyzing the variability in impairment thresholds across 12 behavioral areas mentioned in the review.
• Investigating the impact of methodological standardization on reported BAC thresholds as noted in the conclusions.

Strengths

• Systematic review of 112 scientific articles, providing a broad evidence base.
• Analysis indexed results by specific Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) levels and 12 behavioral areas.
• Clear temporal coverage of research from 1981 to 1997.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
• Data may reflect temporal bias inherent to the 1981-1997 publication range of the reviewed studies.
