In 30 healthy male students aged 19 to 28 years of a mean age of 22.6 years, a study was made of the amount of Fm θ by recording EEG patterns from Fz by monopolar lead during the Uchida‐Kraepelin serial addition task of a five‐minute duration, before and after taking 1.5ml of 43% whisky per Kg. At the same time, a determination was made of the blood concentration of alcohol, along with the MPI test in all subjects, to examine the relationship between the results obtained and the occurrence of Fm θ. The amount of Fm θ was significantly increased following drinking.
