Pain as a joint function of alcohol intake and customary reasons for drinking.
Nonalcoholics who, on a problem drinking inventory, responded "yes" to items reflecting a psychological dependence on alcohol, tended after alcohol ingestion to report a decrease in pain experienced in a cold pressor test. Conversely, those whose responses indicated no psychological dependence on alcohol tended to report pain increases after the consumption of alcohol.
