Zusammenfassung:Managers received placebo drinks or enough alcohol to attain a breath alcohol level (BAL) of near .10. Complex task performance was assessed on 5 variables derived from complexity theory, comparing performance for 3 measurement periods. Alcohol diminished participants' breadth of approach.
