Subjective alcohol responses in high- and low-risk adolescents: results from the Dresden Longitudinal Study on Alcohol Use in Young Adults.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Research shows that sensitivity to certain alcohol responses conveys risk for problem drinking. This study aimed to determine if high-risk adolescent drinkers infuse more alcohol and experience greater alcohol-induced stimulation and wanting and less sedation than low-risk adolescent drinkers.

Design and participants

Ninety-two low- (n = 38) and high-risk (n = 54) adolescent drinkers, as determined by Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test scores of < 6 or ≥ 6, respectively, participated in the Dresden Longitudinal Study on Alcohol Use in Young Adults in which intravenous alcohol self-administration was examined in a mixed within- and between-subjects design.

Setting
