The measures given were identical to those described in King et al. (2011a), and included the Biphasic Alcohol Effects Scale (BAES; Martin et al., 1993) and the Drug Effects Questionnaire (DEQ; (Johanson and Uhlenhuth, 1980). The BAES was given at each time point and is a 14-item unipolar questionnaire involving ratings of adjectives describing either the stimulating (i.e. “Energized”, “Excited”, “Up”, etc.) and sedating (i.e. “Sedated”, “Slow Thoughts”, “Sluggish”, etc.) effects of alcohol. The DEQ was given at all post-drink time points and includes several visual analogue scale ratings of post-beverage effects including the extent that the participant liked the beverage effects (“Do you LIKE the effects you are feeling now?”) and wanted more of the beverage (“Would you like MORE of what you consumed right now?”).
