Abstract
Intoxicated and nonintoxicated male subjects with self-reported low, m oderate, and high drinking experience were given the opportunity to ad minister electrical shocks to an opponent in the context of a competit ive reaction time task. Relative to subjects with moderate and high dr inking experience, alcohol intoxication enhanced the aggressive behavi or of the low-drinking-experience subjects.
