This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The goal of this investigation is to compare unique behavioral and physiological responses to alcohol and their associations in light and heavy social alcohol drinkers. We plan to specify their objective, performance, and subjective alcohol response in a preclinical laboratory study. Measures will be obtained during both rising and declining blood alcohol concentrations in order to better understand potential factors involved in the earlier stages of heavy alcohol use. We also plan to follow-up on study participants for several years after the preclinical phase of the study to examine whether acute alcohol response factors are significantly associated with future drinking patterns and alcohol consequences.
