The mathematics test will
consist of the four basic arithmetic (adding, subtraction, division and
multiplication) to guarantee that nothing else will be measured. The grammar
test will consist of a sentence completion test. The verb in each sentence will
be left out and the student must use the correct verb and present or past tense
of the verb. Procedure: All students were interviewed individually in their
dorm. They were unaware of the groups that they were being placed in for the
investigation. Consent to participate was given by all students. Students then
received their glass of alcohol and drank until each subject reached 0.01 on the
Breath Alizer. A test was then given in mathematics and grammar, and second test
was given in a week, with an another glass of alcohol and Breath Alizer test.
Result: The results of this study were analyzed by using the T-test. The scores
were analyzed to see if having a predisposition to alcohol has a greater effect
on ones mathematics was 95 and the mean score for non-alcoholic parents was
91.67. The data for the independent T test were T= -.21 (SD= 8783.3), with a
standard error of 18.74, DF+10, and P*.o5 results were not significant. The
number of students in each group was six. For the participants who did not come
from parents of alcoholic parents the means score for grammar was 80. The data
from the Independent T test were T=0, with standard error 16.1 (SD= 6466.66),
DF=10 and P*.05, results were not significant. Discussion: The hypothesis was
not supported One glass of alcohol does not have a lesser effect on those
students from families of alcoholic parents. A total of 12 students participated
in the experiment, including six students from families with parents who were
alcoholics and six students not from families with parents who were alcoholics.
