Summary
This completed study looked at how thinking skills (like flexibility and self-control) and social understanding (like reading emotions) are connected to alcohol use disorder. Researchers tested 216 people using puzzles, eye-tracking, and brain scans. The goal was to find early warning signs that could help predict who might develop alcohol problems.
