MEDFOHD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE SEVEN pwis to a person who mixes pop ular tranquilizing drugs with social drinking? According to a team of Univsr sity of California researchers alcoholics and mice: Persons who take both tran quilizers and alcohol become more intoxicated than those who take alcohol alone. ieci. a person using a tranquiliz er -could tke a drink and notice no change. Yet he could be "hit" some time later while driving a car, for example. Any of the current tests for drunkenness might show the alcoholic con tent of his blood to be below the .15 per cent stage. But, according to the scientists. the n e r m might actually be "dead drunk." Dr. Thomas M. Burhrid PC 911(1 Dr. Violette E.

Their findings were contained in me iirst report of the State Alcoholic Rehabilitation Commis sion on research and treatment of alcoholism in California. Burbridge told United Press, "The tranquilizer apparently fa cilitates the uptake by the brain of alcohol. But the brain chem istry of the effect is something we plan on researching further There is no doubt in our minds, nowever, of the observable ef fects, clinically and experiment ally. OI USine the two tranniiiliV. ers and aiconol together." "The experiments with the al i t .t . cunoiics ana tne students was most marked.". BurhrirJeo caM "We have a erouD of 19 aloohnl. ics to work with. The first week we gave them alcohol alone, the next week the tranauilizer in this case chlornromazinp anH alcohol toeether. "The behavior natfpm wac far different in all but one case. They simply got drunk quicker and there was a change in their overt Denavior." Effect Was Bixarra The students who participated in tne tests were given .8 of gram oi Douroon whisky per Kilogram (2.2 lbs.) of body weight. Roughly translated this is aDOut tour jiggers for a man weighing 160 Dounds. "The effect, when given with a tranquilizer or its chemical equivalent, was bizarre to say the least," Burbridge said. "They not only got gay, but many of them tried to put each other in showers and things like that. Most were quite stable with alcohol alone." Burbridge added. "All of these experiments were under control led conditions. That's why we can be so certain of our findings on such a small numlvr nf n ar sons observed clinically." On the basis of the tests, Bru bridge is worried about the "pos sibly grave effects" on society of combining tranquilizers anc! soc ial arinKing. "When VOU consider that th use of these drugs is by mentally troubled persons, many of them potential alcoholics, the prob lem becomes daneernns." h said. "For many of these persons, drinking as such is not socially acceptable, but the effect upon them can be the same. Then, if COUDled with onlv milH drinking, it can become positive ly dangerous."
