Lawrence,

Give it some thought.  
Would you volunteer to find out when you are going to feel out of control and
crash
by drinking your EtOH containing beverage of choice while driving down some road
that you have never driven on, with a bunch of similar volunteers in other cars
in the
convoy, all part of the same experiment?

Hope you decide against it.
