“…Recent evidence suggests that alcohol intoxication can lead to the initial adoption of a conservative pattern of 'wagering' when gambling, due to impairment in risk evaluation processes (Phillips and Ogeil, 2010). In the present study, alcohol ingestion was associated with decreased ratings of "confident" and increased ratings of "unsure" and these feelings of uncertainty may have tempered actual betting behavior in the presence of a desire to gamble in the alcohol conditions.…”

“…Experimental studies measuring effects of alcohol administration on laboratory gambling have found increases in risky and/or persistent gambling (e.g. Ellery and Stewart, 2014;Cronce and Corbin, 2010;Phillips and Ogeil, 2010;Ellery et al, 2005;Phillips and Ogeil, 2007), albeit with some exceptions (Breslin et al 1999;Sagoe et al 2017). There is some evidence that the effects of alcohol may be enhanced in people with gambling problems Ellery and Stewart 2014).…”

Experimental studies examining the relationship between alcohol use and gambling have focused predominantly on alcohol's influence on gambling behavior. There has been little consideration of the reverse pathway: whether gambling influences subsequent alcohol use. Two experiments examined whether gambling and gambling outcomes (i.e. profits during a gambling session) influenced subsequent alcohol consumption. Experiment 1 (n = 53) used an ad libitum consumption test, in which participants could request beverages during a 30 min window. Experiment 2 (n = 29) used a beer taste test procedure, in which participants were asked to rate a series of beers. In both studies, male regular gamblers were assigned to watch a television show or play a modern slot machine for 30 min, before being provided with access to alcohol. On the ad libitum procedure, gambling significantly increased the number of alcoholic drinks ordered, the volume of alcohol consumed, the participants' speed of drinking, and their intention to drink alcohol. These effects were not corroborated using the taste test procedure. Across both studies, gambling outcomes were not associated with alcohol consumption. In conjunction with prior findings, the observation that gambling can promote alcohol consumption under certain conditions highlights a possible feedback loop whereby gambling and alcohol reinforce one another. However, the divergent results between the ad libitum and taste test experiments point to boundary conditions for the effect and raise methodological considerations for future work measuring alcohol consumption in gambling environments.

“…This somewhat counters Phillips and Ogeil (2010) who concluded that alcohol appeared to influence risk evaluation, and that the encountered problems associated with warning information is consistent with alcohol induced myopia. Participants took longer to make decisions in a situation of high risk when in the high alcohol condition suggesting when intoxicated, more time is needed to process important information.…”

Aims: Alcohol use and intoxication have been widely linked with the incidence of crime and antisocial behaviour. Reduced risk perception following alcohol consumption has been proposed as a possible reason for why people take part in such activities. This study aimed to identify if "intention to act" and "perception of risk" were similarly or differentially affected by alcohol consumed in a natural environment. Furthermore the relationship between amount consumed and degree of impact was investigated.Design: A single factor independent groups design was employed.Participants: 60 participants aged 18-23 were recruited.Measures: Participants indicated their likelihood of engagement in a range of acts, and stated how risky they thought each behaviour was via a questionnaire.Findings: Data analysis revealed a significant effect of alcohol group on reported likelihood of engagement such that likelihood increased with alcohol consumption. However, perceived risk was not subject to any effect, and increased intention to engage in a risky behaviour was not associated with a decreased perception of risk. Conclusions:These results may provide support for an anxiolysis-disinhibition model of alcohol induced risky behaviour. Certainly the data indicate that cognitive appraisal of the behaviours is not impaired or related to increased engagement.
