Poster Session II

Keyword: Substance Abuse and Addiction

Abstract: We examined differences in subjective response to alcohol, focusing on intensity and number of drinks required for effects through survey measures. Black individuals reported higher intensity of stimulating effects (β=0.14, p=0.03) and needed more drinks for lighter effects (β=0.21, p<0.001), while males required more drinks for heavier effects (β=0.19, p<0.001).
