Solution

  1. FALSE - Blinding was used in this study. Both the participant and the researcher were unaware of the alcohol content of the drink, which is a form of blinding known as double-blinding.

  2. TRUE - A control group was used in this study. The participants who were given a non-alcoholic drink served as the control group.

  3. FALSE - A placebo was used in this study. The non-alcoholic drink served as a placebo because it was presented in the same manner as the alcoholic drink, but did not contain alcohol.
