In men, those with higher levels of positive urgency were more likely to drink more. This study was published in the journal Alcohol.

Visual symmetry is fundamental to how we organize and recognize objects in our environment. Our brains can quickly and accurately detect symmetrical patterns, even when they appear in the periphery of our vision. In a new study published in Psychophysiology, researchers have found that while alcohol does influence certain brain activities related to visual perception, the ability to detect symmetry remains largely intact even when under the influence. Previous studies have shown that our brains can quickly and efficiently detect symmetrical patterns, even under challenging conditions like visu...

The research reveals that even subclinical symptoms of insomnia can predict increased future alcohol use. This study stands out as the first to explore whether objective measures of circadian rhythms can forecast future drinking behavior in adults. While previous studies have suggested a link between sleep disturbances and alcohol consumption, most have relied on self-reported data and have focused predominantly on adolescents ...

The findings have been published in the journal Psychology of Popular Media. The “wine mom” phenomenon promotes the idea that alcohol is a necessary coping tool for motherhood’s challenges, often via humoro...

Recent scientific studies reveal that even low levels of alcohol consumption during pregnancy might subtly alter fetal craniofacial development and specific brain structures, although these changes do not appear to significantly impact broader socio-cognitive development in early childhood. These findings offer a deeper understanding of the potential risks associated with prenatal alcohol exposure. Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) encompasses a range of effects that can occur in an individual whose mother drank alcohol during pregnancy. These effects include physical, behavioral, and lea...

Recent research has found an intriguing connection between the drinking habits of couples and longevity. The study, published in The Gerontologist, suggests that couples with similar alcohol consumption habits tend to live longer compared to couples with discordant drinking behaviors, where one drinks and the other does not. However, it’s important to note that this finding is not an endorsement for increased alcohol consumption, but rather highlights the complex interactions between marital behaviors and health outcomes. Past studies have extensively explored how the drinking behaviors of cou...
