- Willing and capable to provide written informed consent
- Good command of the English language
Exclusion Criteria:
- Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) diagnosis of alcohol dependence; receiving treatment for alcohol dependence
- Taking medications or have any medical condition for which alcohol is contraindicated
- Any medical condition requiring immediate investigation or treatment
- Previous head trauma/neurological condition such as clinically significant history of seizure disorder, a history of clinically significant head trauma (i.e., concussion resulting in clinically significant loss of consciousness) or past intracranial surgery
- Beck Depression Inventory score >16
- Current active or past suicidal ideation
- Pregnancy tested by urine and blood screen each PET study day or lactation
- Current DSM-IV diagnosis of any Axis I psychiatric disorder

- Abnormal body mass (as defined as not within 20% of normal body mass index).
- Current past or anticipated exposure to radiation exceeding 20 mSv in the last year.
- Metal implants or paramagnetic objects within the body which may interfere with the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
- Claustrophobia or a history of panic attacks

Aktiv komparator: alcoholic beverage
95% USP alcohol given at a dose of 1.5 g/l of body water mixed with orange juice and tonic water.
|
An appropriate amount of 95% USP ethyl alcohol will be mixed in orange juice and tonic water to obtain a drink equivalent to 3-5 standard drinks.
The beverage will be consumed over a period of 15 minutes.

Change in PHNO Binding Potential
Tidsramme: 2 weeks
|
Following the injection of the positron-emitting radiotracer [11C]-(+)-PHNO, binding of this radiotracer to dopamine receptors (DR) D2/3 will be measured using the PET scanner.
As dopamine also binds to DR D2/3, either an increase or decrease in dopamine levels will either decrease or increase PHNO occupancy respectively.
[11C]-(+)-PHNO binding potential will be measured on two different conditions (alcoholic beverage vs non-alcoholic beverage) on two separate days.
