Summary
This study used brain scans (fMRI) to see what happens in the brain when heavy drinkers decide whether to drink alcohol, especially when they have important plans the next day. 52 heavy drinkers took part. The goal was to understand how the brain weighs the choice to drink against responsibilities, and how alcohol problems relate to these decisions.
