Assessment measures included validated self-report scales of subjective alcohol response such as the Subjective High Assessment Scale (SHAS; Judd et al., 1977; Schuckit and Gold, 1988), Biphasic Alcohol Effects Scale (BAES; Martin et al., 1993), and Addiction Research Center Inventory (ARCI; Martin et al., 1971). They also included mood scales such as the Profile of Mood States (POMS; McNair et al., 1971), which have been commonly used to assess response to alcohol challenge. Finally, other studies assessed subjective response using single-item or multiple-item assessments of intoxication or impairment.
