Unlike both stimulation and sedation, subjective intoxication was best predicted by the SRE 3-mo. model, which was strongly preferred over the ASQ-Heavy (ΔAIC = 13.6; evidence ratio = 893) and ASQ-Light models (ΔAIC = 19.9; evidence ratio = 21,400). Figure 3 shows that higher scores on SRE 3-mo. were associated with lower subjective intoxication throughout the post-drinking period, and this difference was more pronounced following alcohol relative to placebo consumption. The loss of prediction caused by dropping the interaction with beverage group was dramatic (ΔAIC = 36.9; evidence ratio = 2.05 × 106). A similar pattern is evident for the ASQ, but the score terciles appear to differentiate less clearly than for the SRE.
