First seen Nov 19, 2025 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 18 times

Summary

This study looked at 34 people who came to the emergency department with alcohol intoxication. Researchers asked them to guess their blood alcohol concentration (BAC) and then compared that guess to a real breath or blood test. The goal was to see if people underestimate how drunk they are, and whether showing them the real number might help them recognize a drinking problem and seek treatment later.
