Summary

This study looks at how feeling stressed and being with a friend influence people's decisions to drink alcohol. Researchers will have 160 regular drinkers choose between alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks in different situations. The goal is to understand what drives drinking choices, which could help design better ways to prevent alcohol misuse.
