Differences in alcohol-related variables between individuals who engage in food and alcohol disturbance (FAD) behaviors and those who only use alcohol: The role of FAD motives


Abstract Food and alcohol disturbance (FAD) is the use of any compensatory behavior (e.g., skipping meals) within the context of a drinking episode. FAD has two underlying motives: to enhance the effects of alcohol (FAD-AE) and/or compensate for calories consumed from alcohol (FAD-CC). Prior work finds that FAD is positively associated with alcohol-related outcomes; however, it is unclear whether FAD confers increased risk above alcohol use alone, and whether there are differences in alcohol outcomes by FAD motive. Thus, the present study evaluated alcohol use patterns (i.e., past-month quantity/frequency, binge use, consequences, and drinking motives) by FAD status and FAD motives.
