AUD subgroup. The relationships of stimulation, liking and wanting were positive for the high and intermediate AUD subgroups, suggesting that stimulation is pleasurable; these correlations were not significant in the low AUD subgroup (Supplemental Results). The AUD subgroups did not differ on alcohol sedation or cortisol response (Fig 3A, 3B). All findings remained after including age, sex, race, FH, as well as psychiatric disorders, substance and nicotine dependence as covariates in the same models.
