Alcohol Research Lab
Creating Science-Based Strategies
About
The Alcohol Research Lab focuses on real-world challenges individuals and social groups face related to alcohol. Our goal is to improve understanding of how people behave in situations when alcohol is present. With this understanding, we can formulate evidence-based strategies to help mitigate potential negative outcomes.
