In these types of paradigms, and others, the B-BAES could be used efficiently and reliably to assess subjective effects of alcohol to test models of risk related to stimulant and sedative effects. In addition, because of the increased ease of administration of a shorter measure, the B-BAES could also be more readily incorporated in other studies in which subjective effects is not a main construct of interest, thereby expanding the utility of this measure to other related lines of research.
