Biphasic alcohol effects scale (BAES) (Martin et al., 1993) is a 14-item unipolar adjective rating scale designed to measure both stimulant and sedative effects of alcohol. The BAES is composed of a 7-item Stimulant subscale and a 7-item Sedative subscale. Subjects rated the adjectives on a scale of 0 (not at all) to 10 (extremely). Item scores were summed into each subscale.
