These data suggest that the priming effects of alcohol may be a significant factor contributing to the experience of craving and maintenance of drinking. The study also introduces the cue-availability as an additional new method for investigating manipulations of cue-reactivity in alcoholics.

Questions with plural definites (QPDs) can receive responses that take the form of a pair-list. Following Dayal (in Srivastav 1992, Dayal 1996 and Krifka (1992), these are generally treated not as genuine pair-list answers, but as pragmatically-motivated elaborations on underlyingly cumulative answers. I present new evidence against this view: pair-list answers can be available even in the absence of a corresponding felicitous cumulative answer. I argue that the pair-list form of such answers must be represented in the semantics, and that QPDs must permit both the "cumulationand-elaboration" strategy and a genuine pair-list parse.
