Summary
This study proposes to examine both the peripheral and central nervous system responses when
light social drinkers and binge/heavy social drinkers are exposed to oral ethanol. The
findings will provide a greater understanding of the brain mechanisms (cerebral blood flow
and functional connectivity) underlying the association between stress, cortisol release,
heart rate variability, alcohol craving, and alcohol stimulant and sedative effects. This
knowledge could be significant in developing new therapies for the treatment of alcoholism.
