Summary

This project aims to investigate how dysfunctional learning and habitization are affected by acute alcohol exposure, and whether individual differences in such alcohol effects can predict later development of Alcohol Use Disorders (AUDs). Eighty 18-year-old healthy male subjects are tested on two days in a within-subjects design with blinded administration of alcohol vs. placebo and different behavioral and learning tasks. The investigators investigate how alcohol influences the performance during these tasks, whether alcohol effects differ between high- and low-risk subjects, and whether task performance under alcohol predicts future AUDs.
