ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how alcohol affects the brain, especially in social situations. The researchers want to understand how drinking alcohol can influence the way we interact with others and what happens in our brains when we consume alcohol in a social setting. They are looking for participants who are between 21 and 30 years old and regularly drink alcohol.

If you join the study, you will be part of a group of people who will undergo some tests while consuming a controlled amount of alcohol. It's important to note that you cannot participate if you have had serious problems with alcohol in the past, are on certain medications, or have specific medical conditions. Additionally, if you are pregnant or trying to become pregnant, you won't be eligible. The study is currently recruiting participants, and everyone, regardless of gender, is welcome to apply.
