Interactions of Alcohol and Opioids: Pharmacodynamic Effects
This study will examine the effects of doses of alcohol/placebo and doses of opioid/placebo, alone and in combination.
The primary outcomes are related to pharmacodynamic measures (subjective ratings of drug liking and other abuse-related effects; physiological outcomes) to determine the interaction effects of these compounds.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Alcohol
Participants will receive experimental doses of active or placebo alcohol, p.o. Alcohol/placebo will be administered once per session.
|
Active alcohol or placebo, administered orally
|
Experimental: Opioid Agonist
Participants will receive non-therapeutic, experimental doses of an active opioid agonist or placebo.
Active opioid agonist/placebo will be administered once per session and will be administered orally
|
Active opioid agonist or placebo, administered orally
|
Experimental: Opioid Agonist/Alcohol Combination
Participants will receive non-therapeutic, experimental doses of active opioid/placebo in combination with experimental doses of active alcohol placebo.
Opioid/placebo and alcohol/placebo doses will be administered once during each session.
It is possible to receive both active drugs on the same day.
Both opioid and alcohol doses will be administered orally.

Active opioid agonist or placebo, administered orally
Active alcohol or placebo, administered orally

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change in Subject-Rated Outcomes
Time Frame: These outcomes (visual analog scores, scale of 0-100) will be recorded prior to and in regular intervals after drug administration for the duration of the session (approx. 6.5 hours per session)
|
Participants will rate their subjective drug effects (ex: drug liking, high) on standardized VAS scales.
|
These outcomes (visual analog scores, scale of 0-100) will be recorded prior to and in regular intervals after drug administration for the duration of the session (approx. 6.5 hours per session)
