Published reports have studied language formulation and fundamental frequency measures pre- and post-intoxication. This study aimed at tapping the speech motor control measure using rate, consistency and accuracy measures of diadochokinesis and sustained phonation task. The recorded data from 10 young males on these tasks prior and post 10 min-utes of intoxication with 0.08% alcohol (Widmarck’s formula) was studied. The results revealed significant differences in the rate of syllable repetition, syllable duration and cycle to cycle variations in fundamental frequency. The study suggests development of a new intoxication detector for successful and effective enforcement of law.  aVipin Ghosh, P G.  aJournal of Alcohol and Drug Education  cFJASyFJAS  c17936d17936
