Psychopharmacology Laboratory, Department of Psychology, American University, Washington, DC 20016, USA
Psychopharmacology (Berl) 197:409-19. 2008
..Overall drug acceptability is thought to be a function of the balance between its rewarding and aversive effects, the latter of which is reportedly affected by polydrug use...
Exposure to nicotine during periadolescence or early adulthood alters aversive and physiological effects induced by ethanolJennifer A Rinker
Psychopharmacology Laboratory, Department of Psychology, American University, Washington, DC, USA
Pharmacol Biochem Behav 99:7-16. 2011
..These results suggest that nicotine may alter the aversive and physiological effects of alcohol, regardless of the age at which exposure occurs, possibly increasing its overall reinforcing value and making it more likely to be consumed...
