Do Smooth Waters Run Deep? Alcohol Intoxication and the Effects of Water Consumption on Driving-Related Cognitions and Behavior

The present study tested the effect of the combined use of alcohol and water on driving-related cognitions and behavior. Seventy-four female students performed a driving simulator task after having consumed alcohol or a placebo. Additionally, half of the participants consumed 0.5 liter of water. It was hypothesized that combining alcohol and water could lead to an underestimated perceived intox...

951 With reported incidences typically ≈1%, swimminginduced pulmonary edema (SIPE) is increasingly recognized as a not uncommon syndrome that is triggered by strenuous swimming and characterized by dyspnea, cough, and hemoptysis. Interestingly, SIPE shares common features with another form of pulmonary edema that is caused by strenuous exercise in an evolutionary nonphysiological habitat, namel...
