We also assessed if the prospective mediation model remained significant after accounting for the impact of same-day drinking on same-day craving and next-day drinking. Same-day drinking increased craving that day and was significantly associated with the following day drinking behavior. However, the prospective models remained robust in both studies and indicated that including same-day drinking did not reduce the effect of the stress-craving relationship on next day drinking (see Tables S1–S4 in Supplemental Results).
