Acute alcohol rewarding effects as a risk factor for hangover frequency.

ABSTRACT:

Background/purpose

Acute subjective alcohol effects appear to play an important role in predicting alcohol hangover. However, no studies have used a laboratory-based alcohol challenge to examine the concurrent or longitudinal effects of subjective alcohol responses on hangover frequency.

Method

Participants were 294 young adult light-to-heavy social drinkers (aged 21-35 years, 42% female) enrolled in the Chicago Social Drinking Project.
