Alcohol & Memory

Witnesses are often under the influence of alcohol when they witness criminal events. How does this affect their memory accuracy? Does this affect their ability to give valid testimony and make accurate identifications? We have been investigating these questions, along with meta memory, or the monitoring and control decisions that witnesses may use when volunteering testimony.
