A minority of participants reported AmED consumption in both the past month (11.6%) and past week
(9.7%). Compared to their alcohol-only drinking counterparts, AmED consumers scored significantly higher on
measures of impulsivity, and lower on anxiety sensitivity when compared to their alcohol-only drinking counterparts.
In multivariate analyses, AmED consumption was robustly associated with patterns of alcohol dependence
(AUDIT score ≥8) among young adult college students, while controlling for energy drink use, alcohol use, personality
factors, substance use, and demographic variables.
