Abstract
Age of onset (AO) was tested as a moderator of the relationship between daily levels of affect and alcohol outcomes. Findings revealed that individuals with an earlier AO were at greater odds of drinking and experienced more problems if they endorsed higher levels of negative mood than usual that day.
