Abstract
Nonclinical samples of female problem and nonproblem drinkers were compared for their reactions to experimentally manipulated anxiety under alcohol-free and alcohol-dose conditions. The problem drinkers showed more subjective anxiety reduction, were higher in trait anxiety, and experienced more physical and psychosocial life problems.Keywords
