NIAAA Scientists Provide More Evidence that Binge Drinking May Be an Indicator for Vulnerability to Alcohol Use Disorder
A recent NIAAA study has shown that people who drink socially and have certain risk factors for alcohol use disorder (AUD) self-administer more alcohol and at a faster rate during a single session of alcohol consumption in a laboratory setting than people at low risk for developing AUD. Participants with all three risk factors evaluated in the study —being male, having a family history of AUD, and having higher impulsivity behaviors—had the highest rates of binge drinking. These findings suggest that people at risk for AUD have different drinking patterns than those at low risk. (Source: NIAAA News)
