Note. Subscale scores on the Biphasic Alcohol Effects Scale (BAES; Martin, Earleywine, Musty, Perrine, & Swift, 1993), are averaged sums of ratings, on 10-point scales, of the extent to which a participant was experiencing seven states associated with stimulation (e.g., elated, excited) and seven states associated with sedation (e.g., down, sluggish). Each BAES was administered 5 minutes before BAC measurements preceding the indicated test block.
