Research suggests situational pain may motivate alcohol consumption, suggesting that be an antecedent for problematic drinking behavior. In this pilot project, we assessed the effect of a painful thermal stimulus on topography in virtual reality bar environment using real alcohol-containing beverages. We also examined psychosocial factors account individual differences as use. Participants (N = 20, Mage 25.65 years, 55% female, 15% Hispanic/Latino/a/x) completed screening battery before...
Although recent literature provides promising support for the analgesic properties of alcohol, potential differences in alcohol analgesia as a function chronic pain status are not well understood. Thus, this study examined moderator and distinguished between multiple aspects experience sensitivity: threshold, intensity, unpleasantness, perceived relief.Social drinkers with (N = 19) without 29) jaw completed two testing sessions counterbalanced order: (target BrAC 0.08 g/dl) placebo. In each,...
Objective: The goal of this study was to determine whether the acute analgesic effects alcohol intake are moderated by tolerance, characterized differing subjective and neurobehavioral a given blood concentration (BAC) depending on BAC is rising or falling. Method: Twenty-nine healthy drinkers (20 women) completed two laboratory sessions in which they consumed beverage: active (target BAC= .08 g/dl) placebo. Acute tolerance assessed examining main interactive beverage condition assessment...
The assessment of alcohol consumption during a drinking bout, known as topography, may help improve understanding biopsychosocial mechanisms underlying consumption. However, past studies have been limited by effort-intensive, time-consuming, and error-prone processes involved in collecting, organizing, standardizing topography data. Recent technologies allowing integrated data collection greater environmental control, such virtual reality (VR), could resolve these problems.In this pilot...
Self-medication of pain with alcohol is prevalent, and expectancies for analgesia likely influence relief consumption. Hazardous use has been associated greater delay discounting rates; however, little known about the relationship between analgesia. Therefore, present study examined sex differences in associations Healthy drinkers without chronic (N = 53) completed measures analgesia, use, outcome expectancies. A five-trial adjusting-delay task (DDT) monetary outcomes was also administered....
