Mood ratings were available for 19 participants. Overall, they felt less stimulated and more sedated at the end of the recording, as indicated by the main effects of BrAC phase on the BAES stimulation (F(2,36) = 6.1, p<0.005) and sedation subscales (F(2, 36) = 3.6, p<0.05). Baseline ratings that were obtained prior to beverage administration did not differ between sessions thus they were subtracted from the ratings obtained at the ascending and descending BrAC limbs. Relative to baseline, subjects reported feeling more stimulated on the ascending phase of BrAC under alcohol than under placebo (F(1,18) = 9.3, p<0.01). There were no main effects of interactions for the sedation BAES scale.
