Abstract

This study explored everyday prospective memory deficits associated with excessive alcohol use in teenagers aged 16-19 years. Excessive and low-dose alcohol users completed the Prospective Memory Questionnaire, which measures self-reported everyday memory errors. After controlling for other drug use, excessive users reported significantly more everyday memory errors than low-dose controls.
