abstract: This thesis reports a study examining the impact of acute alcohol ingestion on Episodic Future Thinking (EFT) in social drinkers. The study used an independent group design, whereby one group was administered alcohol and the other received a matched placebo. Both groups were required to imagine future-oriented events in relation to a cue sentence and then perform various cognitive tasks, including an imagination task. The results indicated that EFT remains relatively robust against acute alcohol effects. The implications of this finding are considered within the context of clinical interventions for alcohol dependent individuals. EFT simulations were also found to include episodic memory content, thereby providing support for the Constructive Episodic Simulation hypothesis (Schacter, Addis & Buckner, 2008).
