including overly positive expectations of the effects of alcohol, heavier peer drinking, and using alcohol to cope with stress (Schuckit et al., 2012) have also been found to contribute to the heightened risk for AD in those with low LR. Interestingly, recent research suggests college-based prevention programs that target LR are effective in individuals with low, but not high, LR (Schuckit et al., 2016, Savage et al., 2015). Thus, even though low LR is a marker for predisposition to AD, largely via heavy consumption, individual differences in LR are also associated with unique sources of variance.
