Abstract: Although the literature on the use of discrimination of blood alcohol levels in the treatment of alcoholism has implied strongly that awareness of levels of blood alcohol is an important therapeutic consideration, little information is available regarding the mechanism of action for the relationship between accurate discrimination and therapeutic efficacy. This study sought to extend the state of knowledge about blood alcohol discrimination through the investigation of a concomitant of levels of alcohol in the blood, i.e., positional alcohol nystagmus.
