The claim reaches archery through a 2005 review chapter that reports, second hand, a laboratory test on nine men: at blood alcohol levels of 0.02% and 0.05%, compared with a sober condition and a placebo, the steadiness of the outstretched arm and reaction time get worse, while isometric strength and endurance stay where they were. In the same tests, electromyography at the moment of string release shows more muscle relaxation with alcohol, with marked differences from one person to the next. The pattern fits what matters to an archer, since fine control gives way and strength does not, but it remains reported data, on nine people the chapter does not describe as archers and who were not shooting arrows. Neither a safe dose nor an effect on scores can be drawn from it.claim:alcol-stabilita-braccio:revision:2026-08-15:2Sat, 15 Aug 2026 08:00:00 GMT https://matteocampagna.com/en/registry/health/alcohol-arm-steadinessclaim:alcol-stabilita-braccio:new_claim:2026-07-06:trasferitoMon, 06 Jul 2026 08:00:00 GMT
