However, the study's one clear error was in conducting conducting the experiment in a bleak hospital room, beginning at 9 a.m. Later, it was recognized that the uncongenial setting had had a strong influence on the results. Until recently, the one important important factor that's been given too little attention in research into drinking is the setting: where is the drinking taking place? with whom? following what incidents? Another study examined how people arc influenced by. what they think they're drinking. drinking. It compared their behavior when they were drinking liquor (vodka and tonic), but believed they were drinking only tonic, ' with their behavior when they were in fact drinking only tonic, tonic, but believed they were drinking liquor.

Both men and women reported feeling sexually sexually aroused when under the influence influence of believing they were high from alcohol. Known alcoholics alcoholics in this study developed developed a typical alcoholic's craving craving for more - after they'd had a couple of tonics without liquor. liquor. According to this research, what one thinks may be more important that what one drinks, in explaining behavior related to drinking. It's common knowledge that violent crimes arc often committed and marital quarrels frequently occur when individuals individuals have been drinking. Therefore, we tend to assume that alcohol is the chief explanation explanation for the anger and hostility. hostility. And while newspaper accounts accounts tend to keep this stereotype alive, they seldom print stories about the many other people who drink to avoid or forget their anger, rather than as an excuse for expressing expressing it. And in many circumstances, circumstances, that's what alcohol provides: provides: an excuse. For example, to some people alcohol gives a kind of permission to gain personal personal payoffs.' Someone who's already angry may decide to have a drink or two before facing facing another person whom they've already designated as an adversary. In such a ease, alcohol is used deliberately to support and sanction anger and aggressive behavior. Obviously, another consideration consideration that's often neglected in the study of drinking is the mood people are already in before before they start their first drink. That mood plus alcohol may create a dangerous mix. The drinker's behavior isn't explained explained merely by saying that he or she "had a couple too many". Vitally important in understanding understanding any behavior, whether alcohol-related or not, arc the many factors that make up the context in which the behavior occurs. "If you drink, don't drive," is excellent advice. "If you drink be careful where, with whom and in what mood you do it," is also worth think- ing about. . ): ..„i„ . „,.
