Hemispheric specialization for linguistic functions was assessed by means of a dual-task (verbal-manual) paradigm and a dichotic listening test in 16 right-handed men after the administration of a moderate dose of ethyl alcohol. No statistical evidence supporting the hypothesis that moderate doses of alcohol affect motor or perceptive aspects of hemispheric specialization was found.

Cerebral lateralization for linguistic functions has been assessed by means of a dual-task, verbal-manual, paradigm (finger tapping) in 16 monolingual right-handed non-alcoholic adult male subjects after the administration of a moderate dose of ethyl alcohol (0.6 g/kg; alcoholemia > 80 mg/dl). No significant modification of hemispheric asymmetries for linguistic functions was found. Moreover, ethyl alcohol tended to affect right-hand motor function during silent tapping, while leaving left-hand performance almost unchanged.
