Drunk witnesses to crime are no less accurate when recalling details of what they have seen than sober people, a study has suggested.
The research, from Abertay University in Dundee and London South Bank University, found people who had consumed alcohol were less confident and recalled fewer details than those who had not, but were no more likely to include errors.
It also showed that people who discuss what they have witnessed with others can provide less reliable testimony.
The researchers said the results mean police, judges and jurors should be aware drunk people’s version of events may not be less accurate than others.
