Summary
Subjects gave ratings of the favorableness of offers to gamble under the influence of alcohol. In two experiments a large dose decreased the willingness to gamble. Willingness was enhanced with a smaller dose in one experiment. A model of decision making was fitted to the ratings. It was found that ratings had the same structure under all conditions despite variation in level.
