The ad-libitum taste test as measure of momentary alcohol use in the laboratory: an investigation of construct validity and confounding factors

ConclusionsThe ad-libitum taste test appears to be a valid measure of the motivation to drink alcohol in laboratory studies in young male adults, although this validity might be compromised at high levels of ad-libitum consumption. Consideration of these factors can contribute to further refining the ad-libitum taste test as a valuable tool for assessing motivation to consume alcohol in laboratory studies.
