Abstract Background and Aims An initial dose of alcohol can motivate—or prime—further
drinking and may precipitate (re) lapse and bingeing. Lab‐based studies have investigated …

Background Alcohol consumption can prime motivation to continue drinking and may
contribute to excessive drinking. Most alcohol administration research assesses the effect of …

Background: Several experimental laboratory studies have shown that subjective craving for
alcohol increases as a result of low-to-moderate levels of alcohol consumption. Less is …

Background While several researchers have proposed a causal relationship between
alcohol mixed with energy drink (A m ED) consumption and subsequent alcohol intake …

Interoceptive drug cues, through associations with the drug's reinforcing properties, may act
as conditioned stimuli and elicit conditioned responses. For instance, a dose of alcohol …

Background and aims Although increases in subjective alcohol craving have been observed
following moderate doses of alcohol (eg priming effects), the effects of alcohol consumption …

Priming refers to the process whereby initial administration of a substance can stimulate
motivation to continue self‐administration, perhaps to excessive levels. This chapter …

Rationale Acute 'priming'doses of alcohol reliably increase alcohol-seeking behaviour in
social drinkers. However, the effects of the anticipated (rather than pharmacological) effects …

Rationale Alcohol priming can modulate the value of rewards, as observed through the
effects of acute alcohol administration on cue reactivity. However, little is known about the …

Rationale Alcohol intoxication and alcohol cue exposure impair 'reactive'inhibitory control
and increase motivation to drink. However, inhibitory control is a multi-component process …
