本研究的目的是测量93名女性社交饮酒者在清醒状态下饮酒与认知功能和情绪的关系，并调查饮酒对这些变量的可能因果影响。在第一次测试中，以前饮酒和清醒的认知表现之间的关系是有限的。研究发现，在清醒状态下，饮酒与自我报告的抑郁和愤怒之间存在很强的相关性。酒精消费量的长期减少或长期维持是通过原始样本的随机子集进行的。在6周后的第二次测试中，与在同一时期保持或增加酒精摄入量的女性相比，被随机选择减少酒精摄入量的女性在清醒时表现出抑郁、愤怒和精神困惑的减少。我们发现，在这些群体中，认知表现没有变化。我们的结论是，对这些发现最简单的解释是，相对较低的酒精消耗量会导致女性社交饮酒者在清醒状态下抑郁和愤怒的大幅增加。讨论了将饮酒量视为一个连续变量而不是一个分为“安全”和“不安全”区域的二分变量的价值。
The goals of the present study were to measure the relationship between alcohol consumption in 93 female social drinkers and their cognitive functioning and mood in the sober state, and to investigate the possible causal effects of alcohol consumption on these variables. In the first test session, a limited relationship was seen between previous alcohol consumption and sober cognitive performance. A strong relationship was found between alcohol consumption and self-reported depression and anger in the sober state. Either a prolonged reduction in alcohol consumption or a prolonged maintenance of alcohol consumption was undertaken by random subsets of the original sample. In the second test session 6 weeks later, women who had been randomly selected to reduce their alcohol intake showed decreases in depression, anger, and mental confusion when they were sober, relative to women who maintained or increased their alcohol consumption over the same period of time. We found no changes in cognitive performance in these groups. We concluded that the simplest explanation of the findings is that relatively low levels of alcohol consumption produce substantial increases in depression and anger in the sober state in female social drinkers. The value of considering alcohol consumption as a continuous variable rather than a dichotomous variable with "safe" and "unsafe" zones was discussed.
