Choice of nitrous oxide and its subjective effects in light and moderate drinkers.
Drug and alcohol dependence November 1, 2008 James P Zacny, Diana J Walker, Lindsay M Derus
Moderate drinkers chose to inhale nitrous oxide significantly more often than placebo and more often than light drinkers did. At 20% and 30% concentrations, moderate drinkers also reported stronger abuse-liability-related subjective effects. The findings provide more conclusive evidence that alcohol-drinking status modulates both the choice and subjective effects of nitrous oxide.
