Text

Participants included 40 heavy-drinking young adults (mean age: 19.95 years, SD = 0.82; 18 females). Recruitment consisted of advertisements on public and university websites and university campuses, which requested social drinkers for research involving alcohol administration. The sample was predominantly Caucasian (27 participants), with additional participants reporting Asian (3), East Indian (3), Black (2), Native North American (1), or mixed race (4). No participants were married, 24 reported current employment, and 28 were full-time students. Self-reported drinking behavior is depicted in Table 1. Eleven participants reported current cigarette use and most (31) reported cannabis use in the prior 90 days.
