Summary
This study attempts to elucidate the factors that contribute to escalation and maintenance
of excessive ethanol drinking in young adults by:
1. Examining subjective and objective response differences to alcohol and other common
substances in a sample of young, adult social drinkers with varying consumption
patterns.
2. Determining whether response to alcohol and other substances is predictive of future
consumption patterns through longitudinal follow-up interviews.
3. Examining the relationship between responses to alcohol and other substances at
baseline and re-examination testing to evaluate if consumption patterns moderate this
relationship.
