The association between alcohol consumption and pain interference in a nationally representative sample: The moderating roles of gender and alcohol use disorder symptomatology.

CONCLUSIONS: The distinctive patterns of the consumption-to-pain-interference relation observed among men with elevated AUD symptomatology suggest that this relation might be driven by different mechanisms across different groups of individuals. Specifically, the detrimental effect of alcohol on pain interference might emerge at relatively advanced stages of AUD among men, consistent with Koob's Dark Side of Alcohol Addiction theory in human research.
