An important part of communication is non-verbal. Most people who engage in social interactions recognize a range of emotional states reflected in other people's facial expressions, body postures, and/or tone of voice. Alcoholism has been linked to difficulties in perceiving and processing emotions expressed in these non-verbal cues. This study examined whether these difficulties persist after long-term abstinence from alcohol.
