and descending limbs, irrespective of the nature of the effect (i.e., stimulation or sedation). Model Three (Two-Factor, Effect) examined the B-BAES items as representing distinct stimulant and sedative effects of alcohol, irrespective of the BrAC limb. Model Four (One-Factor) examined the B-BAES items as representing a global construct of subjective alcohol effects, irrespective of specific effect (i.e., stimulation and sedation) or BrAC limb (i.e., ascending or descending limb). In addition, a two-factor model testing the six B-BAES items at peak BrAC (60 min; Model Five) was included to confirm stimulation and sedation as distinct constructs at this commonly used time point on the BrAC. For all models, fit was assessed using the standardized root mean square residual (SRMR) and the comparative fit index (CFI; Hu and Bentler, 1998).
