INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES IN COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT FROM ALCOHOL. PREVENTION AND TREATMENT IMPLICATIONS. STRESS AND ADDICTION

Data are presented from a series of 5 laboratory studies that examine the relationship between social and moderate drinking practices and cognitive impairment from alcohol. In addition, recent studies are highlighted which report that certain moderate drinking practices are coincident with greater levels of cognitive impairment and self-reported depression. The field and laboratory methods to gather information about alcohol consumption and its short-term after effects are compared. The different data sets indicate that a continuum of effects may be proportional to an individual's level of absolute alcohol intake. An example prevention trial and implications for early intervention are discussed.
