The ANOVA on PA change scores also showed a significant Beverage effect, F(2, 64) = 9.17, p < .01. Dependent t tests showed that alcohol group participants reported somewhat more positive affect post-drinking compared with baseline (M = 2.30), t(22) = 1.77, p < .09, whereas participants in the control (M = −2.60) and placebo groups (M = −3.68) reported feeling less positive affect postdrinking relative to baseline, ts(21) = −2.94 and −3.98, respectively, ps < .01. Additional paired t tests showed that the alcohol group mean differed significantly from both the control and placebo group means, ts(43) > 3.25, ps < .01, which did not differ from each other (t < 1).
