abstract="This is a report on drinking experiments with 10 volunteers. Successively synthetic mixtures of 60 per cent orange juice and 40 per cent ethanol (v/v) alone, and with 1 mg/l admixtures of the most common congeners, one by one, were offered. At trial start, 60 minutes after consumption, and the following morning performance tests and personal interviews were carried out. Under all experiments with admixtures of higher aliphatic alcohols during both the acute phase and the next morning, performance deteriorations occurred. During the postethanolic phase, moreover, subective sensations such as hangover were observed. There seems to be a connection with molecule characteristics, such as carbon chain length, branching and location of the hydroxyl group. (TRRL)<p />",
