Study Overview

The CSDP examines how alcohol and other common substances like caffeine and antihistamines may affect the mood and behavior of social drinkers.

During our experimental phase (Phase I), we studied how social drinkers responded to either stimulants, sedatives or alcohol. We are currently evaluating these results.

During Phase II, our follow-up portion, we are looking at patterns of alcohol, cigarette and other substance use. We are interested in how our participants' use of these substances changes or does not change over time.

We are currently following up with our participants every 3 months for two years. We plan to apply for a renewal of our grant within the next year to obtain continued funding for extended follow up. We will keep our participants updated as our plans develop in the next few months.
