What to Expect

First, when you arrive at the lab, you and your partner will fill out some surveys to see if you qualify for the study. This will take about 90 minutes. If you qualify, you will be put into one of two groups: one group drinks alcohol with orange juice, the other group drinks only orange juice. You can’t choose your group. The alcoholic drinks are like having 3 to 4 mixed drinks at a bar. Then, you will do a media task with your partner for about 25 minutes. If you were in the alcohol group, you’ll still be drunk when the experiment ends. So, you’ll need to wait until your blood alcohol level is safe before leaving, which usually takes a few hours. Click the "Get Started Now" button to provide your contact information and take a quick 10-minute survey to see if you are initially eligible.

Study Duration

You and your partner will have one study visit at the University of Colorado Anschutz. This visit will take about 3 to 10 hours. You will have two follow-up phone calls: one the next day and one a week later.
