Description
The CDC awarded this grant to Jonathan Howland at Boston University, with a subcontract to Brown University. This project studies the effects of caffeinated beer on driving performance both while intoxicated and the next morning. The study also investigates role of sleep disruption in next-day impairment after drinking beer versus caffeinated beer. Young healthy adults will receive beer with or without caffeine and a nonalcoholic beer with or without caffeine so that the effects of the caffeine and the alcohol can be studied independently and together. The study is being conducted at Boston University.
