“…If such conditions are kept constant across measurement points, it may well be that retest-reliability for the FCQ-S is high. More importantly, however, is that the FCQ-S is sensitive to change during various manipulations: scores increase during food cue exposure (e.g., food pictures) or exposure to real food [52,54,[56][57][58][59][60][61] and decrease after exercise [62], methylphenidate ingestion [63], repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation [64,65], infraslow neurofeedback training [66], and food intake [11,23,59].…”

Purpose of Review The Food Cravings Questionnaires (FCQs; Cepeda-Benito, Gleaves, Williams, & Erath, 2000) are among the most widely used instruments for measuring food cravings. In addition to the Food Cravings Questionnaire-Trait (FCQ-T) and the Food Cravings Questionnaire-State (FCQ-S), several modified versions have been developed as well. For their 20th anniversary, this article provides a comprehensive description of the FCQs and reviews studies on their psychometric properties and correlates. Recent Findings The FCQs and their modified versions have excellent internal reliability. Expectedly, the FCQ-T (and its derivatives) has higher retest-reliability than the FCQ-S as the FCQ-S is sensitive to situational changes such as food deprivation and food intake. However, while the FCQ-T is largely unaffected by such momentary states, it is also sensitive to change during weight-loss treatments and other interventions. Factor structure of the FCQ-T and FCQ-S has only partially been replicated. Construct validity of the FCQs is supported by experimental and longitudinal studies that measured food craving and food consumption in the laboratory and with ecological momentary assessment. Summary Numerous studies support reliability and validity of the FCQs and their modified versions, yet findings about their factor structures are inconsistent. Thus, using total scores or the short versions of the FCQs may be preferable.

“…To date, little research has focused on how alcohol intoxication can alter food-related AB. One study found that AB towards food cues was increased by smelling alcohol odours, in the absence of alcohol consumption (Karyadi & Cyders, 2019). However, another study showed that the magnitude of food-related AB did not differ between consumption of a placebo-alcohol, and alcoholic doses of 0.3 g/kg or 0.65 g/kg (Monem & Fillmore, 2019).…”

“…A smaller study in 23 young adults found that while low-(0.3 g/kg) and high-dose (0.65 g/kg) alcohol primers reduced alcohol-cue related AB relative to placebo, AB towards food-cues were sustained across all doses [69]. Recent evidence has indicated that alcohol (beer) odour increased attentional bias for food-cues, even in the absence of actual alcohol consumption [70]. Food and alcohol 'products' are a source of pleasure and a valued component of social spaces (especially within the night-time economy), as well as emotional and cultural life.…”

Alcohol is energy-dense, elicits weak satiety responses relative to solid food, inhibits dietary fat oxidation, and may stimulate food intake. It has, therefore, been proposed as a contributor to weight gain and obesity. The aim of this narrative review was to consolidate and critically appraise the evidence on the relationship of alcohol consumption with dietary intake and body weight, within mainstream (non-treatment) populations. Publications were identified from a PubMed keyword search using the terms ‘alcohol’, ‘food’, ‘eating’, ‘weight’, ‘body mass index’, ‘obesity’, ‘food reward’, ‘inhibition’, ‘attentional bias’, ‘appetite’, ‘culture’, ‘social’. A snowball method and citation searches were used to identify additional relevant publications. Reference lists of relevant publications were also consulted. While limited by statistical heterogeneity, pooled results of experimental studies showed a relatively robust association between acute alcohol intake and greater food and total energy intake. This appears to occur via metabolic and psychological mechanisms that have not yet been fully elucidated. Evidence on the relationship between alcohol intake and weight is equivocal. Most evidence was derived from cross-sectional survey data which does not allow for a cause-effect relationship to be established. Observational research evidence was limited by heterogeneity and methodological issues, reducing the certainty of the evidence. We found very little qualitative work regarding the social, cultural, and environmental links between concurrent alcohol intake and eating behaviours. That the evidence of alcohol intake and body weight remains uncertain despite no shortage of research over the years, indicates that more innovative research methodologies and nuanced analyses are needed to capture what is clearly a complex and dynamic relationship. Also, given synergies between ‘Big Food’ and ‘Big Alcohol’ industries, effective policy solutions are likely to overlap and a unified approach to policy change may be more effective than isolated efforts. However, joint action may not occur until stronger evidence on the relationship between alcohol intake, food intake and weight is established.
