It is important, however, to consider the influence of factors that may determine an individual&#8217;s tendency to consume excessive amounts of alcohol under positive and negative circumstances. Thus, the current study examined a large sample of young adults to clarify whether positive and negative affect predict total alcohol consumption on drinking days and whether facets of impulsivity moderate these relationships.<\/p>\n<p><em>Results:&nbsp;<\/em>Participants were significantly more likely to drink in greater quantities on occasions preceded by higher positive affect but not negative affect. While fun-seeking positively predicted total drinks consumed, there were no significant interaction effects between the BIS\/BAS subscales and affect on total drinks consumed.<\/p>\n<p><em>Conclusions:&nbsp;<\/em>These findings challenge existing affect regulation models and have implications for ecological momentary interventions aimed at addressing hazardous drinking behaviours.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/21bethere.org.au\/blog\/pid\/4277909164411390280\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"button\">For complete research<\/a><span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The role of impulsivity in the relationship between affect and alcohol consumption in young adults It\u2019s been known, at least anecdotally, for a long time that people hitting the bottle in depression is often, the reality is people are more likely to do so when they are excited or happy.
