“…They found that on days when individuals reported higher self-control demands (expending more effort in regulating mood, controlling thoughts, or dealing with stress), they tended to drink more alcohol and were more likely to violate self-imposed limits on alcohol consumption [c.f. Limit Violation Theory: (55, 56)]. Combined, these studies suggest that ego depletion can have a causal influence on drinking behavior, and temporarily increased disinhibition (as a consequence of ego depletion) is a plausible explanation for these effects.…”

Disinhibition is present in various maladaptive behaviors, including substance use disorders. Most previous research has assumed that disinhibition is a psychological construct that is relatively stable within individuals. However, recent evidence suggests that the ability to inhibit behavior fluctuates in response to environmental and psychological triggers. In this review we discuss some of the factors that cause (dis)inhibition to fluctuate, we examine whether these fluctuations contribute to subjective craving and substance consumption, and we ask if they might increase the risk of relapse in those who are attempting to abstain. The research that we discuss has furthered our understanding of the causal relationships between disinhibition and substance use disorders, and it also highlights opportunities to develop novel treatment interventions. We conclude that substance misusers and their therapists should be made aware of the triggers that can cause disinhibition to fluctuate, and we highlight the need for more research to investigate the effectiveness of inhibitory control training in clinical settings.

“…To date, EMA methods have not been applied to investigate associations between objectively measured inhibitory control and alcohol consumption, including ‘limit violations’ (drinking more alcohol than planned (Collins et al 1994 ; Muraven et al 2005a )). In order to investigate this issue, it is important to study individuals who are motivated to restrict their alcohol intake and are currently attempting to do so, on the basis of theoretical claims that the predictive power of inhibitory control for consumptive behaviour should be greatest amongst those who are attempting to control that behaviour, and therefore likely to attempt to engage inhibitory control in order to do so (Hofmann et al 2012 ; Wiers et al 2010 ).…”

Do daily fluctuations in inhibitory control predict alcohol consumption? An ecological momentary assessment study

et al. 2018

RationaleDeficient inhibitory control is predictive of increased alcohol consumption in the laboratory; however, little is known about this relationship in naturalistic, real-world settings.ObjectivesIn the present study, we implemented ecological momentary assessment methods to investigate the relationship between inhibitory control and alcohol consumption in the real world.MethodsHeavy drinkers who were motivated to reduce their alcohol consumption (N = 100) were loaned a smartphone which administered a stop signal task twice per day at random intervals between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. for 2 weeks. Each day, participants also recorded their planned and actual alcohol consumption and their subjective craving and mood. We hypothesised that day-to-day fluctuations in inhibitory control (stop signal reaction time) would predict alcohol consumption, over and above planned consumption and craving.ResultsMultilevel modelling demonstrated that daily alcohol consumption was predicted by planned consumption (β = .816; 95% CI .762–.870) and craving (β = .022; 95% CI .013–.031), but inhibitory control did not predict any additional variance in alcohol consumption. However, secondary analyses demonstrated that the magnitude of deterioration in inhibitory control across the day was a significant predictor of increased alcohol consumption on that day (β = .007; 95% CI .004–.011), after controlling for planned consumption and craving.ConclusionsThese findings demonstrate that short-term fluctuations in inhibitory control predict alcohol consumption, which suggests that transient fluctuations in inhibition may be a risk factor for heavy drinking episodes.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1007/s00213-018-4860-5) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…For example, addiction researchers have found that abstinent drinkers and smokers who commit initial lapses experience feelings of failure and distress (Schiffman, Paty, Gnys, Kassel, & Hickcox, 1996). Similarly, research on the limit violation effect indicates that drinkers who have stringent alcohol restraints tend to experience a great deal of distress following the violation of an alcohol limit (Collins, Lapp, & Izzo, 1994;Muraven, Collins, Morsheimer, Schiffman, & Paty, 2005). In a critical-incident study, Dahl, Honea, and Manchanda (2003) found that about 52% of guiltinducing situations were related to the failure to regulate one's behavior or reach standards one had set for oneself, but these authors did not explore shame.…”
