Hey that was ok, apparently I have the reactions of a 37 year old ~ not bad considering I'm 64,  :banana:

Shame other parts of my anatomy aren't that of a 37 year old  :mfr_lol:

Pretty consistent at 500ms (42 year old) and I'm 52.
Reactions are important but so is intelligence and observation.

I'm not sure how 'valid' this test is.  After a half bottle of wine (light for me), I went from about 32 to 28 years old.  So, it seems I must drink more, but not tonight.  I'll try a martini tomorrow night.  I had a glass at 8:10pm, tried the test at 8:30....32 years old.  Another glass and tried it 8:55pm.  Reaction time was faster.  So I'm trying to think that in order to cause the reaction time to be lower, I really need to be sussed.  I'm up for this task for the group so I'll keep you informed of my results tomorrow night.  By the way, it's a vodka martini (3 shots of Belvedere) shaken, not stirred, with 3 olives and a sniff of Vermouth.  I can't wait.

Jim........more alcohol seems to improve your anticipation response.

Try the exercise with a belly full of Guinness and report back please  :mfr_lol:

33-41-29  Not sure how indicative this test is of impaired driving.  Had one very strong vodka martini.  Definitely feeling the effects..  I may need to drink more.

But you know what they say....wine if fine but liquor is quicker.  Not sure about any sayings for beer.

Ok, found some.  Quite good.

http://thinkexist.com/quotations/beer/

This test is flawed in that you learn how to 'beat' it after the first go round.  It makes a difference on how far your finger is from the keyboard.  So I'm thinking this test should be taken with the finger resting on the space bar every time.  That would take the distance out of the equation and then go on from there.  It might have been nice to see a deer run out or something more real world.  It's a good test as is in checking static reaction time.  So far I haven't been really sussed enough to really make my reaction time slower...

As far as riding a bike, I'm very leery about getting on it after even one beer.  I can certainly tell the difference and as I have enough problems staying upright sober, any degradation in my senses would not go well.  I'll drive a car after one beer or two but that's my limit on that.  I have a nephew who is a deputy sheriff in a VA county and he makes it his whole purpose in life to get DUIs off the road and has been cited/rewarded for doing such a good job.  I'm very proud  of his record.  Therefore I don't drink anything and get out on the road when he's on duty.  He would just love to catch me and I'd never hear the end of it.

This Friday evening I'll have some spare time and have acquired a 6 pack of Guinness so I'll be back at it again, though at some point I probably won't care.

Ok, 3/4 bottle of wine.   I'm in the high 30's.  However, my eyes are crossing and I'm having issues focusing.  No way in heck I'd be driving or riding.  Bear in mind I'm approaching 60.
