Alcohol’s ability to improve mood in the face of stress is among its most prized reinforcing properties, long held by researchers to be of critical importance for the understanding of the etiology of alcohol use disorder (AUD). Drinkers overwhelmingly report that the mood-enhancement they gain from alcohol is most pronounced in the context of stress, and individuals who report higher levels of stress relief from alcohol are at risk for developing AUD. But attempts to capture this key element of alcohol reinforcement using experimental methods have yielded strikingly inconsistent results. One remarkable feature of the extant experimental literature is that, in attempting to capture alcohol’s stress-relieving effects, researchers have strayed far outside the range of stressors typically encountered in everyday drinking settings, contexts that are overwhelmingly social in nature. Here, we harness the power of stressful stimuli that emerge naturally within everyday contexts, focusing on social novelty as a compound stress-trigger ubiquitous to real-world heavy drinking settings. Building on our prior work indicating enhanced alcohol reward in novel compared with familiar social context, together with pilot findings pointing to potential links between social novelty and hazardous patterns of drinking, we draw on innovative methods and measures to further build the understanding of social-contextual factors driving consumption. Specifically, we leverage multi-participant neuroimaging recording arrays (i.e., hyperscanning) to pinpoint both inter- and intra-brain processes underlying alcohol reinforcement, a mechanistic analysis we complement with ambulatory and longitudinal methods for tracing real world patterns of consumption. Participants (N=240) will attend two experimental laboratory sessions, on one of which they will consume alcohol and on the other a control beverage. Participants will complete tasks in the company of either a stranger or familiar individual while EEG is recorded from both participants simultaneously. Participants will also engage in a 14-day ambulatory assessment period during which drinking will be assessed continuously via transdermal alcohol biosensor while social context is explored via in-vivo photographic image- capture methods. Finally, longitudinal changes in hazardous drinking and AUD symptoms will be assessed for 24 months post-baseline. The aims of the project are to: 1) Explore diminished threat sensitivity and enhanced social engagement as mechanisms driving alcohol reward in novel social context; 2) Examine social reward- attentive processes as well as social-contextual novelty as predictors of hazardous drinking and AUD. The proposed research contributes to the understanding of AUD by addressing one of the most fundamental questions in the alcohol literature—the question of why people drink. Further, representing a critical step towards building a contextually-informed, mechanistically precise model of AUD etiology, the proposed study might have a variety of key implications including for refining harm-reduction and prevention programs, reducing rates of relapse, informing public health policy, and the early identification of those at risk.

长期以来，酒精在面对压力时改善情绪的能力是其最珍贵的强化特性之一， 研究人员认为，这对了解酒精使用障碍（AUD）的病因至关重要。 绝大多数饮酒者都报告说，他们从酒精中获得的情绪增强效果在 压力的背景下，和个人谁报告更高水平的压力缓解酒精是在发展的风险 澳元。但是，试图利用实验方法来捕捉酒精强化的这一关键因素， 产生了惊人的不一致结果。现存实验文献的一个显著特征是， 试图捕捉酒精的缓解压力的效果，研究人员已经远远超出了范围， 压力源通常在日常饮酒环境中遇到，这些环境中绝大多数是社会性的， 自然在这里，我们利用日常环境中自然出现的压力刺激的力量， 关注社会新奇感作为一种复合压力触发器，在现实世界的大量饮酒环境中无处不在。 基于我们先前的工作，即与熟悉的社会背景相比，小说中的酒精奖励增强， 以及指出社会新奇性与危险模式之间潜在联系的试点结果， 饮酒，我们借鉴创新的方法和措施，进一步建立社会背景的理解， 推动消费的因素。具体来说，我们利用多参与者神经成像记录阵列（即， hyperscanning）来查明酒精强化背后的脑间和脑内过程， 我们用动态和纵向方法来补充机械分析，以追踪真实的世界模式 消费。参与者（N=240）将参加两个实验室会议，其中一个会议上， 一方饮酒另一方喝对照饮料参与者将在以下公司完成任务： 无论是陌生人还是熟悉的人，同时记录两个参与者的EEG。 参与者还将进行为期14天的门诊评估，在此期间将评估饮酒情况 通过透皮酒精生物传感器连续进行，同时通过体内摄影图像探索社会背景， 捕获方法。最后，将评估危险饮酒和AUD症状的纵向变化， 基线后24个月。该项目的目的是：1）探索降低威胁敏感性和增强 社会参与作为新社会背景下驱动酒精奖励的机制; 2）检查社会奖励- 注意过程以及社会背景的新奇作为危险饮酒和AUD的预测因子。的 拟议的研究有助于通过解决一个最基本的理解AUD 酒精文学中的问题-人们为什么喝酒的问题。此外，代表着关键的一步， 为了建立一个背景信息，机械精确的模型，AUD病因，拟议的研究 可能会有各种各样的关键影响，包括改进减少危害和预防计划， 降低复发率，为公共卫生政策提供信息，并及早识别有风险的人。
