Event-level risk for negative alcohol consequences in emerging adults: The role of affect, motivation, and context.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Decades of research has found support for the motivational model of alcohol use at the between-person level, yet research on event-level drinking motives is in its nascent stage.
