In addition, the legend of the graph of Figures 1 and 2 should be modified. The dark colored bar graph is the systolic pressure and the light colored bar graph is the diastolic pressure, as in the revised images shown here.

Result: The female students did feel intoxicated more quickly than the male students. A graph showing the trend in the blood pressure showed a general reduction in both male (Fig. 1) and female students (Fig. 2), but the lowering was more pronounced in the females. The decrease in the males was about 10 units for the systolic and the diastolic. In the females, the decrease in the systolic ranged from 10 to 30 units while the diastolic remained the same in one, and decreased from 20 to 30 units in the two other females. Both male and female students passed the muscle coordination test without difficulty.
