Given that FHP women differed in their pattern of alcohol consumption compared to FHN women, additional analyses compared light (n = 12) and moderate drinkers (n = 12) in the FHP group relative to the FHN group for peak Beck Depression scores, ratings of Drug Liking, and balance scores. Beck Depression scores were higher in the luteal phase [Phase effect; F(2,42) = 9.18; p <0.005] relative to the follicular phase and increased as a function of alcohol dose [Dose effect; F(2,84) = 6.96; p <0.004], but there were no differences between the 3 subgroups and no interactions. Ratings of Drug Liking increased as a function alcohol dose [Dose effect; F(2,84) = 28.93; p <0.0001] and balance scores decreased as a function of alcohol dose [Dose effect; F(2,84) = 60.39; p <0.0001], with no differences as a function of menstrual cycle phase or between the 3 subgroups. Figure 5 shows peak data for balance scores collapsed between the two menstrual cycle phases in each of the 3 subgroups; there were no differences between FHP light and FHP moderate drinkers at any
